Amethyst Heart from Brazil

An amethyst heart from Brazil in a classic medium collector's shape. A compact heart-shaped piece, hand-sized, with a curated polish on both curved display sides and a consistent violet color gradient.

Amethyst crystallizes in the volcanic gas cavities of the Serra Geral Basalt Formation. The violet coloration is caused by tiny traces of iron in the crystal lattice, which are stimulated by natural radiation to form color centers.

The compact collector's shape is a standard classification for medium amethyst hearts. Brazilian workshops have been producing such ornamental forms for decades.

Brazilian amethyst deposits in Rio Grande do Sul provide the material from the Serra Geral Basalt Formation. Material selection prioritizes pieces with uniform coloration throughout the entire cut volume.

The compact, hand-sized form is suitable for jewelry or display cases and follows the established Brazilian sculpting tradition.
