Great amethyst heart from Brazil with dark crystals

A compact amethyst heart from Brazil with dark internal crystals. A narrow depth geometry makes the piece suitable for jewelry and pendants.

Compact amethyst hearts are a jewelry and collector's classification of their own. The smaller size allows for wearing options, and 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.

Its suitability as jewelry makes the heart perfect as both a pendant and a small desk collector's item.
