MINING REGIONS
Minas Gerais
Minas Gerais is where Brazil’s gem story truly begins. Stretching across ancient mountain ranges and iron-rich soil, it produces more fine crystals than anywhere else on Earth, from quartz and tourmaline to imperial topaz. The region’s vast pegmatite belts have supplied the world’s jewelers and collectors for over two centuries, earning it a reputation as the epicenter of natural beauty beneath the surface.
Bahia
Known for its lush landscapes and sediment-rich riverbeds, Bahia yields citrine and smoky quartz in clay + basalt pockets. These formations offer striking hues driven by unique mineral-rich soils and weathering patterns.
Rio Grande do Sul
In the far south lies the volcanic basalt flows of the Serra Geral Formation, where amethyst geodes form naturally in lava-bubble cavities. Towns like Ametista do Sul are famous for purple quartz and rare calcite-on-amethyst combinations—minerals formed when molten rock cooled and trapped silica.

Founder’s Note
Collected with Intention
Every crystal begins as an encounter shaped by time and human touch. I personally source each piece, working closely with miners and artisans who handle them with care.
As a photographer and lifelong lover of design, I’m drawn to light, color, and form, the same elements that make crystals feel like natural works of art.
Each piece is photographed in natural light to honor its true texture and energy, a quiet balance of beauty, material, and meaning.
