Where would you guess brazilianite to originate from? You got it. Brazil! Bravo!

This mineral can typically be found in yellow-green varieties, but can also be found in colorless varieties. It is considered a precious stone and is very popular among collectors.

Brazilianite is one of those stones which develops in the common crystal shape: prismatic and spherical. Interestingly, though this mineral is known to be found in only one small region of Brazil, the deposit has yielded many crystals, a large percentage of which are not only large but perfectly bounded.

The mineral is not often used in fine jewelry. Because of the rarity of this mineral, most crystals find their ways into private collections and museums where they boast their crystal structures and brilliant coloring to the interested passersby and enthusiast.
