The journey of this 5.61 carat bi color ametrine begins deep within the mineral rich soils of Madagascar, a place where volcanic activity and ancient geological processes have conspired to create rare and beautiful gems. From the moment the rough crystal was uncovered by careful hands, the stone showed that unique dual personality that defines ametrine, with zones of amethyst purple and citrine gold whispering their story in a single crystal. Hand selected for its transparency and natural zoning, this heart shaped gem was entrusted to skilled lapidaries who shaped it to 11.11 x 13.33 x 7.82 mm with a mixed brilliant cut that enhances both its internal color separation and its overall brilliance. Evaluated as eye clean at eye level, with medium color intensity and an excellent polish, this stone still carries a small human touch, having undergone a gentle heat treatment to stabilize and harmonize its tones, a standard enhancement that respects the gem while bringing out its fullest beauty.
The cutting and polishing stage is where the ametrine truly becomes an emotional object, a jewel that speaks to both nature and craft. The heart shape was chosen to celebrate the stone as a symbol of affection and individuality, and the mixed brilliant cut was applied to balance fire and color, to let light travel through both the purple and golden zones and return as sparkle and depth. At 5.61 carat the gem is substantial enough to serve as a bold solitaire or as the centerpiece of a bespoke design. For clients who appreciate complementary contrasts, a White Opal, with its soft milky body and potential for multicolored flashes, can pair beautifully alongside this ametrine, offering a gentle background that makes the bi color drama sing. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this piece as more than a specimen, but as a finished work that celebrates Madagascar provenance, lapidary skill, and thoughtful finishing.
Owning a gem from Madagascar is owning a piece of a storied landscape, an island known for producing gems with distinctive character. The origin adds value because it ties the stone to a known geological narrative and to a rarity that collectors and creators prize. This heart shaped ametrine is ready to be set into a ring, pendant, or heirloom project, and it will reward any artisan with its clarity, polish, and well balanced color zones. If you seek a gem that tells a journey from earth to elegance, this ametrine from The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to continue that story.
