Its piezoelectric property, where pressure creates an electrical charge, makes it essential for frequency controls in everyday devices like cell phones and computers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMinas Gerais is a Brazilian state whose name translates to \"General Mines\" and is renowned for its diverse pegmatite minerals, particularly tourmaline, beryl, and quartz from the northwest granitic region. The area is a major global producer of iron ore, gold, and gems, with the Iron Quadrangle serving as a historic source of bedrock gold and a leading district for iron and gem mining. Governador Valadares functions as the commercial center for the state's mineral trade, while localities like the Cruzeiro mine in São José da Safira remain world-famous for tourmaline and specimen production. Collectors today prioritize this region for its exceptional variety of high-quality gemstones and mineral specimens from distinct geological settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101821116571,"sku":null,"price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/3012\/6217\/files\/c81f7a58-05ea-4160-a58a-dab931d0a5b8.jpg?v=1785099726","url":"https:\/\/www.overtonfamilyjewels.com\/products\/auction-win-8e42e49f-a4e7-4de3-bad2-4f073697d0a1","provider":"OFJ's Crystal Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
