This immense golden slice comes from Brazil, and comes from a Chalcedony geode.
It is formed by successive deposits of silica and ores or oxides dissolved in water and which infiltrates into the soil.
When it comes to volcanic soil, as in this case in Brazil, the water sometimes reaches an air pocket which has frozen in the lava when it has cooled. And it forms successive layers over months and years, with lighter or darker lines.
In this case, the heart is made of hyaline quartz (rock crystal), which allows light to pass through this slice to reveal its unique patterns: golden nodules reminiscent of champagne bubbles...
