    Thank you for making and posting this video! I live in Tucson, where the Gem and Mineral Show happens every year. This video helps me understand the important role mining plays in the lives of women in Madagascar and all over the world.

      Thanks, I actually filmed this 5 years ago so hopefully I have improved even ore since then 😅. I really hope to get back to Madagascar some time soon, but unfortunately, even though the export ban of gems has been lifted, no new process has been instituted, but hopefully we'll get back there as soon as the industry is sorted out again and get back to fully supporting our initiatives over there 😁.

    Wait how comes the biggest stone she found was $1000 and she shared the profit so surely they didn’t get the right price

    • @Lawsongems
      @Lawsongems  4 года назад +2

      it all depends on the quality of the stone. Though given that this was from before her training with us, chances are she didn't recieve as fair a price as she could have, however that one stone did make a huge positive difference to her life.

    • @Lawsongems
      @Lawsongems  3 года назад +2

      We had thought about this however, many services we take for granted in the developed world, like Ebay and Paypal, are not available in Madagascar and shipping costs are very high out of Madagascar not too mention an incredibly difficult export process. We are working with industry members at the moment trying to provide advice to help create a more simplified export procedure, but it is not a simple task to institute such great change unfortunately, but we will give it our best!

    早期的人會將含有許多雜質的金屬.燒熔 倒在石頭裂縫.據說可防止石頭裂開.而在高溫的影響產生許多脆的石脈及貴金屬結晶.然後假裝開發.申請礦業補助.購買高精密的處理機械..臺灣人說黃金高價是因為黃金是印製歐元的原料.那麼北歐黃金是臺灣的高價黃金嗎?
