About Us

Tour Leader



Ulymar at the mineHi, I'm Ulymar Rocha. As owner and founder of Stonebridge Imports Ltd., born and educated in Brazil, I have applied my many years of knowledge & expertise to be the mastermind of “Brazil Geo Mine Tours”. I will be your tour leader on all trips and look forward to sharing my knowledge and vast 'geo' experience with you..

I've been collecting minerals, fossils, and plain ol' pretty rocks since I was a little street soccer player in Brazil, and now I'm ... well, practically a fossil myself. While studying at the Mining University in Ouro Preto, MG, Brazil, and working as a gem dealer, I've acquired an abundance of "geo"  knowledge and discovered world class collecting locations I would like to share with you...

In 2002, Stonebridge Imports Ltd. was founded in Canada, and now through "Brazil Geo Mine Tourism" we’re ready to share with our friends and clients, our extensive knowledge and expertise in collecting opportunities, learning experiences, buying guidance, and cultural fun.

If collecting abundant mineral specimens while enjoying spectacular mountain scenery appeals to you, try our Brazilian Geo Mine Tour adventures.

If you are primarily interested in finding good deals at the source, this trip is also definitely for you!

I'll see you on the hills...

Who We Are

Stonebridge Imports Ltd. is a Canadian company incorporated under Ontario regulations in October of 2002. Stonebridge imports natural stones, gems and jewellery from all over the world - mainly Brazil -, and distributes throughout Canada. We have an excellent reputation for integrity, quality products, affordable prices, but mainly for our customer service.

Since the start of business in Canada in 2002, and through the process of learning and teaching geology and mineralogy, combined with the support and encouragement of customers and friends, we've decided to diversify and create "Brazil Geo Mine Tourism".

It is our objective  to share with our friends and customers the vast experience and knowledge we have managed to acquire over many, many years including the entire process of gemstone formation, mining and processing.
