About Belo Horizonte
 Belo Horizonte Studio is owned and run by the Strickland family who have been in the quartz crystal business for 4 generations. Great care and pride is taken in offering only the highest quality pieces and workmanship.
All work is done in our own studio and our goal is to allow each crystal’s unique beauty to be seen. The artistic choices we make are in the selection of only the finest crystals, and then in discovering the best ways to cut and polish them. We find that this is an organic process, requiring us to approach each crystal with an open mind. It is often impossible to foresee what the finished piece will be like, as new possibilities and choices arise as we work with it. Rather than impose preconceived ideas of how we think it should look, we find that with most pieces, the stone itself will seem to reveal its own perfect final shape.
Many crystals were formed between 100 and 200 million years ago. When you look into a crystal, you are seeing a record of the history of the planet. We respect how ancient these crystals are, and strive to keep an awareness of their remarkable journey, by retaining some of the original surface of each stone.
Over the many years we have been in business, we have developed contacts around the world. These friends are at the source and always searching for exceptional crystals. When a new mining discovery is made, they let us know when a special piece has been found.
We have a large and beautiful selection of crystals and minerals. Through the years we have also developed a special interest in rare and magnificent giant clusters and points which can weigh thousands of pounds each. These are remarkable when displayed inside, or when used in a special landscape setting.
We invite you to come and enjoy seeing these unique treasures.
