I love making stone hearts! Its another way of showing my love for rocks.
 Here are a few I recently did, both from ThunderEggs. Hope you enjoy them, and thanks for looking!

Here is a Coprolite heart that I made and Dan wrapped.
I love how the wrap almost looks like an arrow with the feathers at the end! Good work Dan!!Its hard to see in this picture, but there are metalic looking strips running through it, especially around the rose looking formation on the right of the heart.
