Amethyst Heart from Brazil

An amethyst heart from Brazil in a medium collector size. Suitable for jewelry and display, with uniform violet coloring throughout the cut volume.

Brazilian amethyst deposits in Rio Grande do Sul provide the material from the Serra Geral Basalt Formation. Material selection prioritizes pieces with uniform coloring, free from milky turbidity.

Medium-sized amethyst hearts can be presented both as pendants and as display pieces. They follow the established Brazilian sculpting tradition for quartz cuts.

The violet color is caused by traces of iron in the crystal lattice and natural gamma radiation in the mother rock. It remains stable for decades with careful storage.
