The Teelirio Claim is located near Linópolis, in the eastern part of Minas Gerais, within the famous Doce Valley pegmatite region. This part of Brazil is known for its numerous small pegmatite mines and claims that have produced exceptional specimens for collectors.
Brazilianite is particularly associated with the phosphate-rich pegmatites of Minas Gerais, where it can occur as bright yellow to yellow-green crystals. The Linópolis area has produced well-known Brazilianite specimens and is an important locality for collectors interested in Brazilian minerals.
