The amethyst flowers and associated calcite specimens are found mostly in the area around the tiny village called Linha Getulio Vargas.
'Linha' was the way the Italians called the first small roads opened for them to get inland at the beginning of the colonies. These eventually grow up to small, tiny villages. Some houses, a Catholic church and maybe a business.
There are a few small quarries in the area, many of which are not operating. They also produce calcite specimens (especially ones in a very green matrix), however, there are more localities that produce calcite specimens.
