5.59 Ct. Ametrine from Madagascar

Beneath the red soils and baobab trees of Madagascar, where rivers braid through ancient alluvial deposits, this ametrine began its long journey. Formed by the subtle interplay of heat and hydrothermal conditions deep within the earth, a single crystal captured two distinct moods of quartz, the golden warmth of citrine and the serene violet of amethyst. Local miners, often working in small family groups rather than large industrial operations, discovered the rough and passed it into the hands of skilled cutters who understand how to honor the stone rather than force it. At The Natural Gemstone Company we work directly with trusted partners on the ground to ensure that the people who find and extract these gems receive fair treatment, fair pay, and the support needed for sustainable livelihoods, because the story of a gemstone includes the hands that brought it to light.

This pear shaped bi color ametrine weighs 5.59 carats, it measures 13.27 x 9.75 x 8.14 mm, and it has been cut to a mixed brilliant style to maximize its internal fire and color transition. The medium intense color intensity offers a balanced interplay between citrine golds and amethyst purples, creating a natural passport between warmth and coolness as light moves through the stone. Transparently clear to the eye, the gem has a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that its minor inclusions are a quiet testament to its natural origin rather than a distraction from its beauty. To bring out the full harmony of the two hues, a careful and minimal heat treatment was applied, a widely accepted enhancement in the trade, followed by an excellent polish that leaves the surface glassy and alive with light.

When you hold this ametrine you can feel the layers of craft that transformed a rough crystal into a jewel ready for a lifetime. The pear shape offers a graceful teardrop silhouette that flatters both pendants and rings, and the mixed brilliant cut gives a scintillating pavilion that returns light with balanced refraction. The transparency and polish allow the bi color zoning to show itself from many angles, sometimes revealing a dominant golden face, sometimes a violet crown, and often a marriage of both that appears to shift as the stone moves. The dimensions make it substantial enough to be a center stone without overwhelming a design, and at 5.59 carats it carries presence and practicality together. Each facet was placed with the intention of preserving weight while enhancing brilliance, because the best cut is the one that honors the stone you began with.

For the conscious consumer building an ethical collection, this ametrine represents a thoughtful choice. Its Madagascar origin is traceable, its enhancement is transparent, and our relationships with miners and cutters are built on long term agreements and community investment. At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe provenance matters, and we back that belief with documentation and a willingness to discuss sourcing practices, so you can incorporate this gem into your collection with confidence. Worn daily, the ametrine makes a versatile companion, pairing beautifully with warm golds to emphasize the citrine tones, or with cool silvers to pick out the amethyst, and it also makes a distinctive engagement or statement gem for someone who values uniqueness and responsibility. To care for it, avoid prolonged exposure to high heat and harsh chemicals, clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and store separately to protect the excellent polish. Choosing this ametrine is more than acquiring a gem, it is participating in a chain that honors nature, respects people, and celebrates skilled craft, all of which are promises we uphold at The Natural Gemstone Company.
