Beautiful, dark amethyst heart

An amethyst heart from Brazil in a dark premium color. The deep violet hues indicate high iron concentrations during growth.

In compact pieces, the dark color is particularly pronounced. The material density optically concentrates the color effect.

Amethyst belongs to the quartz family. The violet color is caused by traces of iron and natural radiation in the host rock over long geological periods.

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.
