The Telirio Mine

摘要

The Telirio mine has been the most prolific source of fine brazilianite specimens in Brazil for over four decades. Specimens commonly show lustrous, translucent to transparent, perfectly formed yellow to greenish yellow crystals, some of them doubly terminated, perched aesthetically on a milky quartz and albite matrix. Fine groups of prismatic brazilianite crystals in clusters can reach several kilograms.
