Answer 1

Hi!

if you want to buy these stones you are going to wrong place. the best ones to do is Teófilo Otoni, Nova Era and Ouro Preto(specilly in the comunity called Antonio Pereira). In these places you can buy straigh from the miners. Ok?

Answer 2

it doesn´t matter what you´re gonna do with those stones cuz brazilian customs will never let you leave with them and depending on the amount found on you it could be seen as an international smuggling and arrestment !
