Ametrine Hexagonal Pendant (Gold)

Ametrine is a natural variety of quartz that grows as amethyst and citrine within a single crystal, traditionally associated with balanced clarity and quiet abundance. This pendant sets a natural ametrine point in a hexagonal frame on an included 18k gold-filled chain, showing the stone's purple-to-gold color shift against a warm gold setting. Quick facts Stone Ametrine Composition Silicon dioxide (quartz — amethyst/citrine bicolor) Hardness (Mohs) 7 Color Purple fading into golden yellow Origin Primarily Bolivia Chakra Crown and solar plexus Traditionally used for Balance, mental clarity, quiet abundance Care / Water-safe Durable; water-safe for brief rinsing Meaning & history Ametrine forms when a single quartz crystal experiences two different temperature zones during its growth, producing amethyst's violet and citrine's gold side by side. In crystal tradition it combines amethyst's calm with citrine's brightness, linked to both the crown and solar plexus chakras. Many people wear ametrine as a symbol of balancing two energies at once — the gold setting here echoes the stone's citrine half. Explore more ametrine pieces or browse our pendants collection.

Because ametrine is natural, the exact balance of purple and gold varies from pendant to pendant, so yours will be unique. See our quartz collection for related pieces. Care & cleansing Ametrine is a form of quartz, so it is fairly hard and durable — brief rinsing with mild soap and water is generally fine, though we still recommend removing the pendant before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes, since these can also dull the gold-filled chain over time. Store it separately from harder materials to avoid scratches. As a quartz variety, the stone itself is traditionally considered safe to cleanse with water, sunlight, moonlight, smoke, or sound. Frequently asked questions What is ametrine, and what is it used for? Ametrine is a natural quartz variety that combines amethyst and citrine in one crystal. In crystal tradition it's associated with balance and quiet abundance, and many people wear it as a symbol of harmonizing two energies. This is a decorative/symbolic piece, not a health product or medical device. Is this pendant water-safe? The ametrine stone itself is fairly hard and durable, so brief rinsing is generally fine. We recommend keeping the gold-filled chain drier and removing the pendant before swimming or showering to protect its finish. Can I wear this every day, including in the sun? Yes, ametrine is durable enough for daily wear and holds up well to normal sun exposure, unlike some softer, more color-sensitive gemstones. How do I cleanse and charge ametrine? As a quartz variety, the stone is traditionally considered fine to cleanse with water, sunlight, moonlight, smoke, or sound — whichever method you prefer. How can I tell my ametrine is real? Natural ametrine shows a distinct, often slightly uneven line between its purple and gold zones, rather than a perfectly smooth gradient, which can indicate lab-grown material. Buying from a source that discloses natural origin, as we do, is the simplest way to be confident. What does ametrine pair well with? Ametrine's dual purple-and-gold tone pairs naturally with both amethyst and citrine pieces, and its gold setting complements other warm-tone jewelry. Browse our crystals collection for more pairings.
