Brazil

Brazil is the great storehouse of colored stones, its pegmatites in Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Paraíba supplying the trade for generations. It is the birthplace of the electric, copper-bearing Paraíba tourmaline, and a leading source of fine aquamarine, imperial topaz, amethyst, citrine, and an unmatched diversity of tourmaline. Brazilian mines also produce magnificent display-grade mineral specimens prized by collectors worldwide.
