Colombus would have to be credited with the renaissance of
the emerald in the new world. Had he not discovered the Americas,
the new and abundant source might never have come to the
attention of Europe’s wealthy gem lovers. South American Indian

centuries before western man walked their shores

Brazil counts as a gemmological province
because of the variety of gem minerals present in the
country. Most Brazilian states and territories
produce gemstones, the State of Minas Gerais being
the most important producer both in volume and in
number of species. Diamonds are chiefly
derived by panning from alluvial deposits in Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso and
Goiás. Among other gemstones, the most
important are aquamarines, beryls, chrysoberyls, topazes, amethysts,
tourmalines, emeralds and agates, and their respective
varieties. The occurrences of these gemstones, as well as of a great number of others, are described for each state
in which they are found.
