Dark Amethyst Heart from Brazil

A small amethyst heart from Brazil with a distinct dark violet coloring. The compact cut makes the piece wearable, and the deep color comes directly from the raw material.

Compact amethyst hearts are a unique jewelry and collector's classification. Their smaller size allows them to be used as pendants or hand-held pieces. Brazilian workshops in Rio Grande do Sul have been producing such jewelry hearts for decades.

The processing follows a standardized cutting procedure. Raw material is selected, sawn into manageable pieces, shaped into a heart form using a diamond grinding wheel, and then polished. Each stage takes several hours of manual labor.
