Amethyst heart with agate eye

An amethyst heart from Brazil with an agate eye as the central element. The concentrically ringed agate eye sits within the polished purple interior of the heart, lending an iconographic double meaning to the composition.

The agate eye is a concentrically ringed microcrystalline aggregate within the heart. Its circular geometric shape resembles an eye, giving the piece an iconographic double meaning as both heart and eye.

Brazilian amethyst deposits in Rio Grande do Sul produce material suitable for such compact heart cuts. Workshops in the region have specialized in jewelry processing for decades.

Material selection prioritizes pieces with uniform coloration throughout the entire cut volume. Jewelry material is manually selected from raw stock.
