Special Amethyst Heart with Crystal Hedgehogs and Agate Eye

An amethyst heart from Brazil with crystal hedgehogs and an agate eye. Three detailed elements are openly displayed in a compact heart shape.

Crystal hedgehogs are dense, radially radiating aggregates of small quartz points. They grow out of the mineral substrate like hedgehog spines. The agate eye is a concentrically ringed microcrystal aggregate.

Both detailed elements together in a heart cut form an unusual composition. The outer heart shape frames the inner details as an ornamental form.

Under direct illumination, the crystal hedgehogs are visible as hairy structures and the agate eye as a circular geometric shape. Brazilian workshops in Rio Grande do Sul process such multi-detail pieces from specially selected raw material.
