On the route of gold and precious stones
An agreement between the Brazilian Institute of Gems and Precious Metals and the Ministry of Tourism forecasts the establishment of tourist routes in the gems, jewel and precious stone circuits of the states of Minas Gerais (SE Brazil) and Rio Grande do Sul (S). The idea is to attract foreigners connected to the sector, in the business area, as well as geologists, gemmologists and even museum representatives.
