Not only will viewers discover the dazzling fire of Brazilian gemstones, but they will also be treated to gems further afield that embody the colours of Brazilian Carnaval.<br /><br />But why Carnaval? The Brazilian Carnival is an annual festival in Brazil held four days before Ash Wednesday and differs from its European counterparts in that it is a fusion of European, Native and African traditions. While the discovery of gold and Diamonds at the end of the 17th century was responsible for the development of Brazil, today Brazil is internationally known for its diversity and quantity of gemstones including Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Emerald, Topaz and Tourmaline. Considering that Brazil remains a major source for some of the worlds finest gemstones, it is fitting to celebrate their colour, vibrancy and diversity at the same time as this annual festival.<br /><br />You can shop online with Rocks & Co. at <a href="http://www.rocksandco.com">www.rocksandco.com</a> or watch them live this weekend on Sky channel 642 from 8am to 2am or Freeview channel from 4pm to 9pm.
