An ametrine is a naturally occurring variety of quartz, with zones of purple and yellow or orange.
It has two shades of color [half amethyst and half citrine] 1) violet (color of amethyst stone) 2) yellow (color of citrine stone) amethyst+citrine = ametrine half amethyst and half citrine
== == Citrine crystals can form together with amethyst to form ametrine and bi-colored quartz. found this on the following site: http://www.rosiejiggs.co.uk/gemstones.htm Citrine, a form of quartz crystal, may have derived its brownish-orange tint from irradiation. Amethyst quartz crystals can also be turned to a citrine color by heating them.
There are many minerals that show a purple color. Some of the most common are: amethyst (quartz), garnet, corundum and fluorite. Other mineral properties such as cleavage, hardness, fluorescence and crystal habit can be used to distinguish between the different minerals.

An ametrine crystal is a mixture of citrine and amethyst and comes with three zones of colors. The base color of an ametrine is purple however it can fade into either orange or yellow.

Yes, of course alright is that all you want to know?
It has two shades of color [half amethyst and half citrine] 1) violet (color of amethyst stone) 2) yellow (color of citrine stone) amethyst+citrine = ametrine half amethyst and half citrine

When the word amethyst is used the only color that comes to one's mind is purple. Its color is due the presence of iron mineral in it. The color may range from a faint mauve to a glorious purple. The clear dark purple color is the one that is in most demand. It is also found in blue purple range. Many a times amethyst is found in combination with the yellow color citrine (other variety of quartz family) and is called as Ametrine. Some green color amethysts have also been found in the Zimbabwe and Arizona and is said to get the color is due to the heat of the sun.

Amethyst has no variety. It is a purple coloured gemstone from the species quartz. ( a variety of quartz) however it comes in shades of purple, pink etc. When the word amethyst is used the only color that comes to one's mind is purple.

Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds, Opal, and Sapphires are some gemstones that come to mind when we think of jewels. At a quick glance I can count more than 130 gemstones in my reference book. Gemstones are broken down by the scientific community into 10 specific mineral classes. To keep this simple, we will use the common terms for gemstones of precious, semiprecious, organic, and exotic. The following list is not all-inclusive, but is a good start. PRECIOUS gemstones are: diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald. LIST OF SEMIPRECIOUS GEMSTONES (PARTIAL LIST): Amber (Amber) Amethyst (Quartz) Ametrine (Quartz) Apatite (Apatite) Aquamarine (Beryl) Agate (Chalcedony) (red-banded agate is shown under sard) Alexandrite (Chrysoberyl) Azurite Benitoite (Benitoite) Beryl (Beryl) Bloodstone (Chalcedony) Carnelian (Chalcedony) Chalcedony Chrome Diopside (Diopside) Chrysoberyl (Chrysoberyl) Chrysoprase (Chalcedony) Chrysocolla Citrine (Quartz) Diamond (Diamond) Emerald (Beryl) Fluorite Garnet (Almandine, Andratite, Grossularite, Pyrope, Spessartine, Uvarovite) Heliodore (Beryl) Heliotrope (Chalcedony) Hematite Hessonite (Grossularite) Hiddenite (Spodumene) Iolite (Cordierite) Jade (Jadeite or Nephrite) Jasper (Chalcedony) Kunzite (Spodumene) Kyanite Labradorite Lapis Lazuli (Lazurite) Malachite (Malachite) Moonstone (Albite, Microcline Feldspar, Orthoclase, Plagioclase) Morganite (Beryl) Onyx (Chalcedony) Opal (Opal) Pearl Peridot (Olivine) Quartz (Quartz) Rhodochrosite (Rhodochrosite) Rhodolite (Almandine-Pyrope Garnet) Rock Crystal (Quartz) Rose Quartz (Quartz) Ruby (Corundum) Sapphire (Corundum) Sard (Chalcedony) Sardonyx Sinhalite (Sinhalite) Sodalite (Sodalite) Spinel (Spinel) Sugilite (Sugilite) Sunstone (Oligoclase Feldspar) Tanzanite (Zoisite) Titanite (Sphene) Topaz (Topaz) Tourmaline (Tourmaline) Tsavorite (Grossularite) Turquoise (Turquoise) Zircon (Zircon) ORGANIC GEMSTONES INCLUDE: ORGANIC: Amber Copal (young amber 3-7 million years old) Coral Pearls LESSER KNOWN SEMIPRECIOUS GEMSTONES: (Not commonly known, but are becomingly increasingly more popular especially in custom designed jewelry.) Amblygonite Andalusite Apatite Axinite Benitoite (Benitoite) Beryllonite Brazilianite Cassitierite Cerussite Danburite Diopside Dioptase Dumortierite Enstatite Epidote Euclase Hambergite Hemimorphite (also called Calamine) Idocrase Kornerupine (also called Prismatine) Kyanite Lazulite Petalite Phenakite Prehnite Scapolite Scheelite Serpentine Sinhalite (Sinhalite) Smithsonite (also called Bomamite) Sphalerite Sphene (Titanite) Stitchite Ulexite Variscite (also called Utahlite) EXOTIC GEMSTONES: (Called this for a number of reasons. Many of these are hard to fine and not available in large quantities, others are brittle or break easily and therefore are not suitable for jewelry. These gemstones are generally owned by collectors and do not make it to the marketplace.) This list could be quite long, I have included only a few to give you an idea of some that are in this category.
