Geologically, the region is situated within the Sao Francisco Craton, where intense metamorphic and hydrothermal alteration of ancient magnesian-rich carbonate rocks and pegmatitic fluids created highly specialized chemical environments. This unique setting has made Brumado legendary among global mineral collectors for producing magnificent specimens of rare and beautifully crystallized mineral species.
