Equa

Deep below an expanse of undisturbed Amazon rainforest, lies an aquifer composed entirely of solid rose quartz. Flowing up from this prehistoric aquifer to the forest floor, is the natural artesian spring water for Equa. The water is possibly the planet's lowest mineral content water from a natural source.

Rainwater falls and soaks through the dense canopy of the earth’s greatest rainforest, bringing life to the jungle below. The natural filtration begins as the water seeps underground, through subterranean micro-fissures and beds of billion-year-old granite. Finally, 200 meters below the surface, the water collects in what is believed to be one of the largest aquifers on the planet. This ancient underground lake is formed entirely of rose quartz, which protects and shields the water from external matter, giving it its unique characteristic. After flowing for decades within this glass-like aquifer, the water completes a remarkable journey, making its way to the Earth’s surface at the Equa spring.

Natural Production
Equa is produced by nature, and is managed in as sustainable a manner as possible, with minimal environmental impact.

Through sustainable and fair trade practices, Equa provides a significant, constructive economic opportunity to the local community, who innocently, could otherwise threaten this fragile ecosystem with other destructive means to earn a living. Equa’s entire 1,500 hectare (3,100 acres) property has been designated a protection zone, thereby preserving the virgin rainforest’s unique flora and fauna.

Additionally, Equa has dedicated this property as a Natural Wildlife Rehabilitation Sanctuary, where staff, international veterinarians and technicians will manage the care and rehabilitation of numerous, rare indigenous rainforest species that have been rescued by Brazilian authorities from illegal brokers, poachers and traders.
