@@Sohaib_gems Im handicapped so i cant go out and collect for myself these days. I was going to try with my daughter last year, but im to weak now to go myself. Im waiting to see if a motorized wheelchair gets approved by my insurance. If so, im back to rockhounding! But until then, im pretty much bed bound. Im paralyzed on my right side. I had a stroke from a massive brain bleed and i have permanent brain damage from it.
@@lapidarydave You're crazy brother! I love you! You are awesome and I love all of the insider and behind the scenes education that you both create and collect from others, to provide a fuller perspective on all parts of the industry.
Well I will disagree with you on that generalization. I understand what you are talking about and absolutely you are correct for many parts of the gem/rock industry. However, from my understanding Morocco really tries to keep all of the work/profits with the tribespeople in the areas of mining. More like a series of community cooperatives. Remember, even if their local wages are lower/greatly lower than the American market, the cost of living is very different in the comparison. I would wager to say that they have a less stressful life than most people here.
Thank you so much for the Moroccan video! It was a blessing.
Seeing behind the scenes of mines was amazing. Thanks for promoting them. Definitely going to follow them 🎉

I would like to see what these animals looked like when they were alive. all these things were carved mostly by people who hardly get a living wage.
