Natural Angolan Quartz Hand Carved Crystal Heart

A heart worked in angolan quartz. At 15 inches and 4 g it wants a shelf of its own rather than a desk corner.

Quartz from the Angolan fields, usually carrying enough internal veiling and included minerals to read as smoky or milky rather than clear. Those inclusions are what give a carved surface its depth — light enters, scatters and comes back.

A carved heart lives or dies on symmetry and on the cleanness of the cleft. There is no detail to distract the eye, so the stone's own pattern does all the work.
