Description: | Small heart-shaped brooch, set with marcasite, which is polished metal cut in a matter so as to resemble a gem. Where the clasp of the brooch touches the outer face, a piece of marcasite is now missing. The use of marcasite in jewellery, as a replacement for diamonds, becomes practised in the late 18th century. The object falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act.
