Brazil is also a leading producer of colored tourmalines in every hue.

- Aquamarine (Santa Maria): the deepest, most saturated aquamarines come from Brazil's Minas Gerais state.
- Imperial Topaz: vivid golden-orange; found only in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais.
- Alexandrite: Brazil produces fine color-change stones second only to the Russian originals.
- Tourmaline: rubellite, indicolite, bi-color, and watermelon varieties in abundance.
