Precious Stones
Emeralds, diamonds and alexandrites from Brazil to the world.
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers of coloured precious stones, with a historic tradition in extracting emeralds, diamonds, alexandrites, aquamarines, tourmalines and many other gems. Texas Holding is positioned in this market as a supplier of rough and cut precious stones, focusing on the three highest-value gems produced in the country: emeralds, diamonds and alexandrites — without being limited to these varieties.
Collection piece
A 60 kg beryl canga studded with emeralds, in the Texas Holding collection.
Sourced from Campo Formoso, in Bahia — one of the world's most recognised emerald-producing regions —, this piece presents emerald crystals still in their natural host rock, before any cutting.
The canga combines geological rarity and raw beauty in a single piece, which makes it a genuinely unique collector's item. Given its provenance, integrity and market value, it can potentially be used as a financial asset.

What we offer
Emeralds
Brazil, especially Bahia (the Campo Formoso and Carnaíba region) and Minas Gerais (Nova Era), produces emeralds internationally recognised for their quality. Texas Holding trades rough and cut emeralds from its own areas and from partners in the region.
Diamonds
With a presence in Brazil's traditional producing regions, Texas Holding has access to the Brazilian diamond production chain, offering rough and cut stones with certification of origin.
Alexandrites
Brazilian alexandrite is considered the finest in the world, with the remarkable colour change that characterises it. Brazil holds the main known reserves of this rare mineral, and Texas Holding offers selected rough and cut stones.
Other gems
Beyond the three main varieties, Texas Holding can meet demand for other precious and semi-precious stones of Brazilian origin, on request.
