Frederico Westphalen is a pretty little town in Rio Grande do Sul. There are quarries here that produce the Amethyst flowers that we have seen coming from Brazil in recent years. They don't have a lock on the production of these items because there are more quarries in the region near Irai that apparently also produce them, although I have been only to one locality near Frederico Westphalen.
[Rock Currier 2011]
Near the pretty little town of Frederico Westphalen, are small basalt quarries that are operated to produce the amethyst "flowers" that we see at all the mineral shows. Also they produce many very attractive calcite specimens. The calcites are mostly white and creamy colored and rarely transparent.
