Natural Blue Aventurine Hand Carved Crystal Heart

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

The glitter is aventurescence — flat inclusions of mica suspended through the quartzite, catching light at their own angle rather than the surface's. Move the piece and the sparkle travels across it, which is an effect no polish can imitate.

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.
