Abstract

In 1988, a significant find of emeralds was made at Capoeirana, near Nova Era, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Hundreds of kilograms of potentially gemquality material have been removed since the first pieces were discovered in July 1988. The nature of the biotite schist with which the emerald is associated and the gemological properties of the Capoeitana emeralds indicate that this occurrence is related to the ltabita (Belmont mine) emerald site, only 10 Ion away
