Q
What is AAA-quality ametrine?
A
Although individual companies might create their own quality descriptions, no standardized quality-grading scales exist for ametrine.
Q
Does GIA offer reports for ametrine?
A
GIA offers a Colored Stone Identification Report for ametrine, but it is not commonly requested – except for a gem of significant value – because of the cost of the report compared to the value of most ametrine.
Q

A
Although small, non-commercial deposits of ametrine have been found in other places, Bolivia is the only commercial source of the gem.
