3 Best Shopping in Minas Gerais, Brazil

This is one of the best gem shops in town, especially for the rare imperial topaz.

Although not as upscale as the stores in Ouro Preto, Artstones carries imperial topazes, emeralds, quartz, and tourmalines, and has some finished jewelry.

Here you can visit a stone-cutting and -setting workshop. Various types of topaz can be found here, as well as green tourmaline and amethyst. You can choose from the available jewelry sets or ask the store to make items to your specifications.
