The most significant deposit of the Super 7 mineral is the Brazilian mines in the Minas Gerais region. It cannot be ruled out that this mineral also occurs in other locations.

Natural Super 7 mineral has very strong reported properties. It is used across many fields around the world. On the Mohs hardness scale it corresponds to 7–8.
The history of this mineral only began in the 20th century, when it was discovered during amethyst mining in Brazilian mines.

Thanks to these writings, Super 7 became better known and sought after among collectors and gemstone lovers.
Super 7 is a truly unique stone. Its name reflects the process by which the stone forms, as it is a combination of seven minerals that gradually settle on top of one another. It is made up of crystals of amethyst, rock crystal, rose quartz, goethite, lepidocrocite, rutile and cacoxenite.
Super 7 has a very unique look and is aesthetically striking. It is therefore widely used especially in the jewellery-making industry, where it is shaped into various forms and then used to make necklaces and bracelets, earrings — where it is often used as a centre stone — or rings with a dramatic and attractive effect. Pendants and amulets are equally popular, as are various combined designs with other gemstones and metals to create an even more striking design.
