Origin
lab
This stone was created by "lab hydro thermal conditions".
This means that they are cultured or man-made (synthetic) Ametrine.
Ametrine mined from the earth and Ametrine made in the lab are essentially the same chemically and as far as their properties go. In nature, Ametrine is a type of quartz. In the lab, Ametrine is made much like children salt crystals.
That is, a hot solution of salt is dissolved in hot water then allowed to slowly cool.
Hot water is able to keep more salt in solution than cold The Ametrine sold on this site are listed as having "lab hydro thermal conditions" in regard to water.
As the solution cools, crystals are formed
in the shapes characteristic for salt.
In the case of am Ametrine the chemicals which form quartz are suspended in a hot solution and then cooled under high pressure.
Quartz is formed then further processed to form Ametrine.
This cultured or man-made Ametrine is for the most part identical to Ametrine found in nature except that because it is grown in the lab under controlled conditions, these stones usually have fewer imperfections than stones found in nature.
Also, large stones can be grown for much less money. Natural stones are more valuable and hold their value.
For example, Ametrine in sizes sold on this site can cost per carat and more, whereas i can generally obtain Ametrine for less than a dollar per carat.
I use big beautiful gemstones in my jewelry and love being able to have the beauty of cultured Ametrine without the cost.
As an investment, natural Ametrine is the best bet.
Often whole sellers will claim that synthetic stones are from a particular country which is famous for natural stones.
Even if these stones were made in a particular country, the location of where the stone was made is not only irrelevant, it is misleading as it tends to give people the impression the stone is natural and thus worth more.

I PAY FOR RETURN SHIPPING ON DOMESTIC ORDERS, BUT CAN’T DO SO ON INTERNATIONAL RETURN POSTAGE.
MY PROFIT MARGIN IS SO LOW THAT PAYING POSTAGE ON INTERNATIONAL RETURNS WIPES OUT ANYTHING I EARN ON THAT ITEM AND THE NEXT SEVERAL I SELL.
ALSO, THERE IS A GROUP OF BUYERS THAT HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SELLERS WILL REFUND MONEY RATHER THAN PAY FOR RETURN SHIPPING, AND QUITE AN OPERATION HAS DEVELOPED AROUND THIS.
LET ME KNOW THOUGH, AND THERE IS USUALLY SOME WAY I MAKE IT FAIR FOR YOU.
CERTAINLY ANY ERROR ON MY PART,
I WILL MAKE RIGHT.
THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I CAN MAKE RIGHT AND WILL DO SO.
I BELIEVE IN SALES OVER THE INTERNET BEING EASILY RETURNABLE WITHOUT ADDED EXPENSE, BUT POSTAGE PRICES AND ABUSE MAKES ME UNABLE TO SAY I WILL PAY FOR RETURN IN EVERY CASE.

JUST LET ME KNOW, OR CHECK “ITEM NOT RECEIVED” ON EBAY, AND THERE ARE STEPS WE WALK THROUGH TO FIND IT.
ALTHOUGH MY POST OFFICE WILL ON OCCASION NOT SCAN THE TRACKING NUMBER, OR LOSE THE ITEM, I WILL TAKE THE HIT FOR THOSE.
FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, I WILL REFUND AMOUNT FOR LOST ITEMS UP TO THE POINT THE TRACKING SHOWS THEY LEAVE THE COUNTRY, THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
PACKAGE AFTER THAT.
IF YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE INDONESIA OR ANY OF THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES WHERE NO PACKAGES ARE EVER DELIVERED AND ARE STOLEN OR LOST, I’M NOT GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU COUNTRY’S PROBLEMS, AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU ORDER SOMETHING.
I WILL PAY FOR RETURNS THOUGH, BECAUSE I’M JUST THAT KIND OF GUY.
