Köppen climate type:
Some roadworks in 1997 behind the village of Chas Tavares, near by the roadcrossing to Bom Sucesso. An interesting pegmatite vein with a pocket,
visible during looking out of our car. We collected some nice smoky quartz specimen there.
Another road cut happened above this place in 2008, also with pegmatite veins and some smoky quartz, not far away from the access road to Bom Sucesso No. 4 quarry.
