Ametista do Sul, Brazil
Free worldwide shipping · Secure checkout
A family mining operation in the volcanic heart of southern Brazil — where the world's finest amethyst has formed for millions of years.
Ametista do Sul sits atop one of the world's greatest concentrations of amethyst — volcanic basalt formations that took millions of years to crystallize. It's a small town, and mining is its lifeblood.
Our family has worked this land for three generations. What started as my grandfather's small operation has grown into a business that ships worldwide — but the way we select each piece hasn't changed.
We don't mine to fill a quota. We mine to find pieces worth keeping.
My grandfather began mining amethyst in Ametista do Sul, learning the land by hand — where to dig, and where to leave the earth undisturbed.
My father grew the operation, building relationships with buyers across Brazil and refining how each piece is prepared and stabilized.
Today, we bring that same family standard directly to collectors in the United States — no middlemen, no compromise on quality.
Serious collectors don't just buy from a catalog — many come to Ametista do Sul themselves to select entire lots directly from our inventory. This kind of trust is earned one piece at a time.
"What you see is exactly what arrives — no surprises, no substitutions."
Every order is individually packed at our facility before it ever reaches a shipping container. We treat a $300 cluster with the same care as a museum-grade cathedral.
No brokers, no resellers. Every piece comes straight from our family's mine to your door.
Each formation is individually chosen — not mass-selected by weight or size alone.
Clear pricing, honest documentation, and straightforward answers about shipping and customs.
The same quality bar my grandfather set 70 years ago still applies to every piece we sell today.
