White Amethyst Heart from Brazil

An amethyst heart from Brazil in a white color variant. A rare snowflake amethyst form with embedded microcrystal aggregates; the polished display sides show a matte white hue with fine crystalline structures.

The white amethyst variant (also called snowflake amethyst) is formed by embedded microcrystal aggregates or water inclusions. The absence of violet coloration indicates iron-poor solution conditions.

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

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

In the collector's market, white amethyst is considered a geological curiosity. The term 'snowflake amethyst' refers to the optical appearance of the microcrystal aggregates, which lie inside like fine, light flakes.
