	Stone : Ametrine Colour : Purple Golden Yellow Item : #1677 Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2021 Design : Bubbles Beneath The Surface Carving Origin : Bolivia Treatments : None Weight : 41.92 Carats Clarity : Eye Clean Size : 30X20.82X11.41mm Price : PRICE ON REQUEST Ametrine is a fabulous stone to carve, the nice naturally occurring parti colour combination of amethyst purple and citrine yellow blend playfully to create a piece that is unique and fascinating. With this carving I tried to represent waves on one side and on the other, bubbles. Like the roiling waves on the ocean, just beneath are bubbles racing to the surface.


	Stone : Ametrine Colour : Purple Golden Yellow Item : #1586 Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2021 Design : Spark Origin : Bolivia Treatments : None Weight : 28.86 Carats Clarity : Eye Clean Size : 18.89x18.9012.28mm Price : PRICE ON REQUEST Ametrine works so well with this sort of fantasy cutting. This is another of my spark cuts, the idea of which is that there appears to be dynamic living spark within the gem. These gems are best appreciated by viewing them in the hand so you can get the full 3D effect.


	Stone : Ametrine Colour : Purple Golden Yellow Item : #1574 Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2021 Design : Spark Origin : Bolivia Treatments : None Weight : 31.39 Carats Clarity : Eye Clean Size : 20.57X17.54X13.62mm Price : PRICE ON REQUEST Bolivian ametrine is just one of the most fascinating and magical gemstones. The intense rich golden yellow and purple hues are a totally natural combination of citrine and amethyst. Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me with her creations, just how does something like this occur? This gem I carved so that there looks like a spark floating in space within. The spark's spikey appearance moves and dances as you tilt the gem around. This creates a very bold and striking gemstone that will really make an impressive cocktail ring or other statement piece. Definitely a gem for the adventurous soul.


	Stone : Ametrine Colour : Purple Golden Yellow Item : #1536 Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2021 Design : Sculptural Landscape Origin : Bolivia Treatments : None Weight : 37.85 Carats Clarity : Eye Clean Size : 18.39x18.44x14.20mm Price : PRICE ON REQUEST A fabulous piece of natural ametrine from Bolivia with a rich and striking combination of purple (amethyst) and golden yellow (citrine). I carved this lovely stone into one of my abstract sculptural landscapes to create something unique and to really play with the two hues. Each gem sculpture is carved by hand and takes many more hours to do when compared to traditional faceting. Painstaking effort and attention to detail combined with plenty of patience is required to bring these sculptures to completion from a rough stone to a highly polished gem.


	Stone : Ametine Colour : Yellow Purple Item : #1436 Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2020 Design : Mixed Carving Origin : Bolivia Treatments : None Weight : 62.81 Carats Clarity : Eye Clean Size : 33.5X21.0X17.27mm Price : PRICE ON REQUEST The inspiration for this carving came from a Japanese inro, a small beautifully made container used for holding various items like medicine. I wanted to try and capture the waves, with a moon rising over them and Mt Fuji in the distance. This big gem is a natural ametrine that comes from the Anahi Mine in Bolivia. Ametrine is a natural and rare blending of citrine and amethyst and the best comes from this single location. I enjoyed carving this piece with the lovely flowing curves and the exercise of trying to capture the essence of an idea.
