Opal From Piaui, Brazil

Piaui State (Brazil) is well-known to produce a variety of opals. Some rough and cut play of color opals are of high quality; cat's eye specimens are also available. Pedro II (or Pedro Segundo) is an important locality for play of color opals in the state. There are many new operational mines in the area. More opal production is anticipated as additional mines are reworked in part due to State government's assistance in promoting awareness of Piaui's opals.
