TREATMENTS: NONE A very beautiful and very rare colour Ametrine from the Anahi Mine in Bolivia. The colour is simply sublime and totally captivating. The pear cut has been superbly applied, giving the Ametrine a huge amount of eye appeal.    The best known source in the world for Ametrine is the Anahi Mine in the La Gaiba District, Sandoval Province, Santa Cruz Province, Bolivia. The Ametrine crystals from this mine are unique.  The Anahi Mine has been known for hundreds of years. It is located in the midst of the rainforest zone, near the Pantanal wetlands on the Bolivia-Brazil border. The story is that the mine first became famous in the seventeenth century when a Spanish conquistador received it as a dowry when he married an Ayoreos princess named Anahi.  There is no direct route to Anah* unless you fly over the Amazonian rain forest in small aircraft and land on the startlingly sudden grassy strip carved out of the jungle.  Ametrine crystals were first introduced to Europe through the conquistadors gifts to the Spanish queen.
