São Paulo Crystal Factory: DIY Gemstone Shopping

💎 Why Go? Authentic & affordable: This factory-direct shop offers genuine crystals (amethyst, citrine, etc.) and gemstones—though note: Emeralds under R$1,000 are low-grade (higher-quality stones cost thousands). Amethyst (Brazil’s specialty!) is a steal for its vivid purple hue. Decor gems: Small crystal pieces start at ~R$50, larger showstoppers climb higher. 🛠️ My DIY Project: Bought raw amethyst beads (enough for 2 bracelets) + elastic cord/tools (R$20-30 total). 30-minute craft session = personalized "good vibes" jewelry! Next time: gift sets for friends. 📍 Location & Tips: Av. Washington Luís, 4407 - Brooklin Hours: Mon-Fri 9AM-5:30PM, Sat AM only. Haggle alert: Cash payments get discounts! #Crystal Factory#São Paulo#travel guide#trip diary#Brazil#Brazil guide#DIY
