11.36 Ct. Ametrine from Bolivia

In a hush of dawn and dusk this ametrine sings, a rare and tender marriage of amethyst and citrine held within a single heart. We present an exquisitely transparent 11.36 carat stone that breathes color, an asscher octagon shape bi color ametrine cut with the precision of a master and the soul of a poet. Measuring 14.01 x 13.81 x 9.11 mm, the pavilion and table are tuned to catch the light and to stage a private theater of violet and gold. Originating in the high folds of Bolivia, this gemstone carries the earths old warmth and the Andes sky in its depths, a piece of land and light that will sit at the center of any collection like a small, sacred sun. Heat treated to refine and awaken its tones, this gem retains its natural story while offering a medium intense color intensity that is both bold and intimate, a color that takes you by the hand and invites you to linger.

The asscher cut gives this ametrine an architecture of brilliance that is at once noble and intimate, its octagon geometry framing a cathedral of step facets that draw the eye into repeating echoes of light. Each facet is a mirror, each plane a promise, and with excellent polish the surfaces shimmer like silk under moonlight. Though asscher cuts are known for their elegant steps rather than riotous fire, this stone refuses to be modest, its proportions and facet symmetry coaxing a lively interplay of scintillation and internal glow. Clarity is a quiet testament here, graded eye clean when evaluated at eye level, so that nothing distracts from the duality of color or the way the gem releases fire as you move. In jewelry the result is transformational, a centerpiece that moves between classic refinement and modern drama, a stone that can anchor an engagement ring, crown a pendant, or become an heirloom that tells a thousand conversations long after it leaves your hands.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we treasure gems that speak in more than carat and color, and this ametrine speaks in verse. Imagine it set in a simple bezel to honor its geometry and let the hues flow, or mounted with a ribbon of warm metal to emphasize the golden notes, or embraced by cool platinum to let the violet deepen like twilight. Its 11.36 carat presence is substantial without being ostentatious, offering the kind of scale that sits well on the hand and commands quiet attention. The heat treatment it has undergone is a common and careful enhancement aimed at harmonizing tone and maximizing the stones emotional resonance, while the excellent polish ensures every facet performs its part in the light. For the collector who prefers story woven into mineral, for the lover seeking a ring that reads as poem at a glance, for the jeweler in search of a showpiece, this Bolivian ametrine becomes a centerpiece without apology. Hold it to the morning, and watch the citrine glow like warmed honey. Turn it to the evening, and see the amethyst deepen into violet dusk. It is a gem of passages, of thresholds, a quiet luminous bridge between two worlds that lives to be worn and to be loved.
