What's cool was good words in a time when I needed to hear it... that's you! Trying to show my appreciation by purchasing something from you but here's where my luck fails me ...he will order for me, just don't know when... irresponsible
Ocean Jasper and Ocean Wave , Wave didn't have any orbs , the quality of the Ocean jasper didn't look as good as what I saw years ago , but hard to tell just watching the video , thanks for taking the time to show the Madagascar rock
So I have a peridot with green rutile. Bought it 15+ years ago never seen another since. Sillimanite is an aluminosilicate mineral with the chemical formula Al₂SiO₅. Sillimanite is named after the American chemist Benjamin Silliman. It is rare and shares the same chemical formula as Kyanite. The difference is how the crystals form. Ok full disclosure I looked it up.
The local miners in Madagascar are paid pennies for their backbreaking labour. Child labour is illegal in Madagascar, but unfortunately common in the mining industry. The gem/mineral trade in Madagascar is pure exploitation. And yes, I’ve actually been to Madagascar.
What other trades are there to feed the population other than subsistence farming? There is nothing for these ppl, that’s why they flock to boom towns to try and make a living. Because there isn’t one otherwise.
Victorian England was built on the backs of Children. 7 and up. I saw early 1900's footage of a busy downtown with mostly kids wearing aprons and uniforms tending various jobs. All stopping to look at the camera capturing the day. It's the kids who have no responsibilities i worry about. The spoiled.
Another great video

That is not green rutile in those crystals. It is an amphibole called actinolite.
Actinolated Quartz
Are you kidding me on those prices?! How do you not walk out of there with an entire crate full of material?!
Just shows the huge margin some sellers charge

Dave, Have you seen any vendors selling Mexican crazy lace agate?

You are right. Thanks for your input. I bite my tongue.

The legal working age in Madagascar is 13 I think…
So, close the mines and let them starve?

We can not hear the people that you are having conversations with.
Silimanite is for silly men.
