Trecho:

Gemstone mining in Brazil dates back to the 16^th and 17^th Centuries, when the Portuguese Crown, similarly to the Spanish Crown with the El Dorado in the Amazon, stimulated expeditions to the interior after mythical emeralds (^{Reis, 2010}; ^{Holanda, 2014}). At present, Brazil plays a major role in the market of gemstones, with most originating from the Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province (^{Paiva, 1946}; ^{Putzer, 1976}). The Santa Rosa Pegmatite Field – SRPF (^{Netto et al., 1998}), 40km SW of Teófilo Otoni, hosts several artisinal digs, some active since the 1930’s.
