Cristalina, Administrative division in Goiás, Brazil.
Located at the intersection of highways BR-040 and BR-050, Cristalina extends across a plateau between the Corumbá and São Marcos river basins.
The area's development started in the 18th century with gold exploration, and in 1879 two French traders initiated crystal exports to Paris.
The municipality maintains 250 artisans who specialize in stone cutting and jewelry manufacturing, producing items from local gemstones and minerals.
The municipality connects to Brasília through a 125-kilometer stretch of BR-040 highway and maintains agricultural production of soybeans, corn, and beans.
The region contains deposits of precious stones including amethysts, sapphires, emeralds, blue topazes, and tourmaline, supporting a substantial mineral trade.
