The Indians from the tropical forests of Chaco in Bolivia recount that at night plaintive sounds emanate from the Anaï mine.
This legend is still very present in their minds and is connected to the place where one finds this fascinating mauve and yellow stone called ametrine.
While watching this documentary film you will participate in an adventurous expedition to the heart of a little known country, Bolivia.
After several days navigating the Rio Paraguay, which has the largest reserves in the world of crocodiles and piranhas, you will be taken to a place lost in the tropical forest of Chaco in the far east of Bolivia, where wild animals and mosquitoes reign.
Bolivian miners who are long experienced in exploiting the subsoil, discovered one of the largest known geodes : superb crystals covering the edges of a chasm measuring several hundred square metres.
English : • Ametrine from Bolivia ...
Deutsch : • Der Ametrin aus Bolivi...
French : • L'amétrine de Bolivie ...
Isolated from the rest of the world, these teams take it in turn to exploit the precious gem, sort it and send it by boat towards Santa Cruz.
In this town, the rough crystals are transformed into superb cut stones which are then sent to various cities in the country and worldwide.
The route along which the ametrine travels cuts across Bolivia with its wild festivals such as the carnival of Oururo. The stones will be sold in the United States in world’s largest market for precious stones in Tucson, Arizona where Lorenz Baümer, the jeweler in Place Vendôme in Paris, goes to buy these rare gems which he will mount onto his creations.

The end of the video said the price of amethyst is around 10-15 dollars a carat to high end items. Voillot Patrick is selling a 12.45 carat amethyst for 479 Euro, which is 533 US. Which is almost 3 times more expensive than the highest price ametrine should get.

The coca in the quantities from an unprocessed leaf it would take 5 pounds of leafs at once to get the high similar to a line of white powder in your nose. However chewing on a coca leaf has boosts of energy and alertness but no actual “HIGH”. It’s addictive like anything else like caffeine, alcohol, nicotine sugar even.

L’ amertine , je ne connaissais pas cette pierre , je vais la découvrir là à l’instant . Seulement depuis environ une heure ou un peu plus j’ai découvert votre chaîne KZfaq que je trouve intéressante , riche et magnifique . Monsieur Patrick , essayez de faire une chaîne en arabe parce que le monde arabe voue un amour particulier et fort pour les pierres précieuses et semi précieuses et pour les minéraux . Moi ça va encore dieu merci je parle et comprends le français très bien , je préfère regarder et écouter en anglais afin d’ améliorer my english . Je suis sure ça va cartonner votre future chaîne KZfaq en langue arabe .

Most countries in Patrick's documentaries only export the raw materials and make very little profit. Glad to see Bolivia is cutting the gem locally and has local jewel designers too.

I'm curious, how precise is the temperature at which the ametrine will change color, and how much temperature variance can the stone tolerate without shattering? Could you heat the gem to very near the temp at which it would change color and then using a laser or lasers, selectively increase the heat in very small areas enough to change the color without shattering the stone?

At 12:00...um, maybe some better tires with a more aggressive tread pattern would help that 4x4 traverse the muddy terrain and a winch wouldn't hurt either. Locking differentials would also be of great benefit for getting to and from that mine or bolting on a track conversion in place of the wheels (a little expensive but you've got to weigh the cost against what you are trying to accomplish to find out if such a conversion is worth it).
