Pink amethyst & flower agate heart — Madagascar, 38 g

Description

This polished heart is made from pink amethyst and flower agate, showing translucent pale pink areas with cream and yellow patches visible through a smooth, rounded polish. The piece measures 3.7 × 4.3 × 1.0 cm and weighs 38 g. Its heart form is neatly cut and polished to present the material’s colour zoning and internal texture clearly across the face. Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz (SiO2); flower agate is an agate variety often displaying rounded, botryoidal or dotted patterns and colour banding. Both materials are commonly worked into ornamental shapes such as hearts and cabochons.
