Amethyst Heart from Brazil

An amethyst heart from Brazil with balanced three-axis geometry. The symmetrical curvature of both display sides and the mirror-image tapering of the tip make the piece readable from any display case perspective.

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 into color centers under natural radiation.

The symmetrical cut of the heart makes it recognizable as a balanced collector's item from any display case perspective.

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

The heart is suitable for jewelry or display and follows the established Brazilian sculptural tradition. The polish and symmetrical cube geometry make the piece readable from any direction.
