Famed for its gemstones, Brazil is one of the most mineralrich countries on Earth. In Minas Gerais – the country’s most mineralrich state – we see how the gems are cut, polished, and prepared for market. To see them in their natural, but equally beautiful form, veteran mineral dealer Thomas Nagin visits the renowned Pederneira tourmaline mine, and an aquamarine mine where he explores a newly found gem pocket as it's being uncovered.
