Ametrine naturally combines amethyst and citrine in one crystal, linking it with both Saturn and Jupiter.
In Vedic astrology, Ametrine is linked with Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, wealth, children, marriage (for women) and good fortune. It also carries some of the energy of Saturn, which governs discipline, hard work, career stability, patience and long-term success. The main gem of Jupiter is Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj); Ametrine is a gentler, more affordable stone that people choose to support the same planet.
Benefits of Wearing Ametrine
- Combines the calm of amethyst with the optimism of citrine
- Supports decision-making
- Balances emotions
- Strengthens the positive results of Jupiter: wisdom, wealth, children, marriage (for women) and good fortune
Crystal and gemstone benefits are traditional beliefs and are not a substitute for medical or professional advice.

- Metal and finger: set it in gold and wear it on the index finger of your working hand.
- Day and time: wear it for the first time on a Thursday, in the morning, preferably during the Shukla Paksha (waxing Moon).
- Purify: dip the ring or pendant in raw milk mixed with Ganga jal (or clean water) for a few minutes, then rinse it.
