Golden-Zoned Ametrine Blade – Riemvasmaak Collector's Specimen

Golden Light and Violet Hues in One Rare Slice

Size:  135mm x 34mm x 45mm Approximately

Weight:  230 grams

This elongated Ametrine specimen from Riemvasmaak, Northern Cape, South Africa, is a vibrant celebration of colour and geology. With a golden citrine core and delicate traces of amethyst along its edges, this piece is a beautiful example of zoned Ametrine. The crystal points are sharply defined and shimmer with a natural luster, offering collectors a rare formation that merges form, colour, and locality.

Ametrine is a naturally occurring variety of quartz that combines amethyst and citrine in a single crystal structure. It forms under unique conditions where varying temperatures within the same crystal growth environment lead to differential oxidation of iron: oxidized zones create citrine, while unoxidized zones produce amethyst.

Riemvasmaak is fast becoming one of the most exciting mineral localities in South Africa. Known for its remarkable fluorite and quartz varieties, the region owes its geological richness to ancient volcanic activity and complex hydrothermal systems, which make formations like this possible.

If you're a collector who appreciates rare locality pieces and unusual mineralogical phenomena, this Ametrine slice is a must-have.
