The Pink Topaz Gemstone could be found only from a single mine, named Mino do Capão, situated in the mid of the 290 square-kilometer Topaz repository close to the region of Ouro Preto. Mino do Capão is opened since the mid-19th century, it harvests only 12 kilograms of pearl rough every year, the worldwide rivalry for a restricted stock keeps costs high. Pink Topaz Stone is often cut to increase rough output, making aligned pearls appropriate for adornments more unique.
Mined straightforwardly from the host minerals, Mina do Capão is an open-pit activity with two huge pits, each etched for more than 70 meters into the slope. The mine presently recruits approx 50 laborers and is extremely motorized.
Bulldozers are utilized to open the pits, and most introductory sorting utilizes German-made water-driven conduits and sifters, with some last sorting done by hand. The vast quantity of water vital for mining activities is drawn from a close-by lake.
Pink Topaz Stone is exclusively mined in Burma, Mozambique, Mexico, Russia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ukraine, USA, Sri Lanka, and the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais remains the chief source.
