The first emerald mine in Brazil, first high-quality stones found in 1963. The recognition of beryl colored by vanadium as emerald led to a breakthrough for Brazilian colored gems.

The mine has since been flooded by the Sobradinho dam (hydro-electric station).

The Salininha deposit is/was an east-west lenticular pegmatite, sandwiched between gneiss and carbonated talc schists.
