The Trip of a Lifetime

Rockhound in the Depths of Brazil

Join Adrienne McElwain and the Crystal Barista team for a 15-day rockhounding adventure deep into the gem-producing desert regions of Brazil. This is not a sightseeing tour you will be in the mines, digging, finding, and keeping real specimens from one of the most mineral-rich countries on earth.

Brazil is home to some of the world's finest tourmaline, aquamarine, topaz, amethyst, citrine, and countless other gems. On this trip you will visit multiple mine sites, meet local miners, and have the opportunity to negotiate purchases directly at the source with our translator by your side every step of the way.

Everything is handled for you. You show up ready to dig. We take care of the rest.
