Ametrine

AMERTRINE -  Atlantis Institute Crystals Encyclopedia

Origin 

Ametrine is a crystal of primary formation which means it was formed from molten magma. This usually happens in cavities in volcanoes where the combination of chemistry and structural arrangements of mineral deposits, atoms and substances pass from gas or liquid into a solid-state or by means of going out of solution by precipitation or evaporation. Ametrine is a silicate mine

Amber

Origin

Amber is derived from fossilised tree resin and can also be found in coal seams, where it is termed as resinite. Therefore not technically a Crystal The types of Amber vary due to the degree and mix of chemical compounds. As Amber originates as a soft and sticky resin mass that transforms to copal, it can also contain traces of plant and animal inclusions. Amber can be found along coasts as it is cast up

Beryl

Beryl – Atlantis Institute Crystals Encyclopedia

Origin

Beryl, a stunning mineral composed of beryllium aluminium cyclosilicate, is renowned for its hexagonal crystal structure. These crystals often form perfect six-sided hexagons, showcasing individual prismatic shapes. Beryl can appear in short, stubby forms or as tabular plates. While the bases of Beryl crystals are typically flat, pyramidal terminations are indeed rare, adding
