Amethyst Heart from Brazil

An amethyst heart from Brazil in a classic jewelry pendant size. Brazilian workshops process amethyst using standardized cutting methods from raw material selection to polishing; all steps are manual.

Amethyst crystallizes in the volcanic gas cavities of the Serra Geral Basalt Formation. The purple coloration is created by tiny traces of iron in the crystal lattice, which are stimulated into color centers under natural radiation.

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 balanced size is suitable for jewelry or display cases and follows the established Brazilian sculpting tradition. Polishing and cutting are carried out in several manual steps over hours until the display surfaces are uniformly smooth.
