Ancient Lore & Geological History 🌙

Practically the entire world's supply of natural Ametrine originates from a single remote locality—the Anahí Mine in southeastern Bolivia. According to 17th-century legend, a Spanish conquistador received the mine as a dowry when he married Anahí, a princess of the Ayoreo tribe, and presented bi-colored Ametrine gems to the Spanish Queen.
