Santa Rosa Tourmaline
Santa Rosa Tourmaline is a Green Tourmaline
named after its source, the Santa Rosa Mine
located in Malacacheta in the Brazilian State of
Minas Gerais ('general mines' in Portuguese).
Commencing production in 1965 the Santa Rosa
Mine produced some of Brazil's most important
gemmological specimens. Unfortunately, the
mine's yield is sporadic; only since January
2009 has Santa Rosa once again started
commercially significant production.
