This is part 3 of Mike’s gem mine and rough buying trip to Kenya and Tanzania. In this part, award-winning gem cutter, Michael Sackos, documents the part of the trip where they visit some of the mines in Tanzania as well as the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Thanks for sharing when are you planning on doing the next trip

[@BOPIESDiamondsFineJewelry]

You would have to ask Roger and Ginger about that. They organize these trips.

What a fantastic trip! I can’t wait to see what you brought back and what you do with it. Enough fun and games now get back to cutting!😝

Thank you!

I enjoyed the video, but would of liked to of seen you display all the gem rough you bought at the end.

[@BOPIESDiamondsFineJewelry]

Thanks. Yes, I would have liked to have shown you everything we all bought, but it was kind of a mad house...we had to package up all the items, separate then by the gem cutter who purchased them, bundle them up for Customs and Roger had coordinate with customs both in the country and then in the US....never really had a chance to line up our whole team and say...OK...put everything you bought onto the table. But YES, I would have loved to have shown all!

[@mikesackos2208]
