Amethyst heart from Brazil in a beautiful color

A small amethyst heart from Brazil with balanced color gradation. The polished surface shows a smooth transition from light to strong violet, with uniform saturation throughout the cut volume.

Compact amethyst hearts are a distinct jewelry and collector's classification. Their smaller size makes them wearable or usable as pendants. Brazilian workshops in Rio Grande do Sul have been producing such jewelry hearts for decades.

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

The compact jewelry form is suitable as a pendant or as a desk collector's item. The violet color comes from iron traces in the quartz lattice and remains stable in the shade for decades.
