I want to see more of Mistar on his job in the sulfur mine, he’s so humble and it seems like he loves telling his story. I love seeing how other countries workers’ stories on how they make a living, since I know I haven’t had the same struggle.
I used to work as a sound technician for a media company a couple of years back, you always gotta pay up or bring something if they gonna sit in front of a camera or follow them around during work hours because they can't afford to lose focus or time. It can get really tricky if the words spreads around, that's why you usually have some "security" with you who can easily communicate or whatever. Remember one guide/security guy we had in India near the border who told us to get the interviewee goats or chickens instead of money because they lasted longer.

I got the rock bug in 2008-2009, starting going down the Appalacians digging for quartz, then looking for smoky quartz and amethyst, then garnets, then pyrite cubes, then emerald/beryl (which the locals call "burl"), then aquamarine (also "burl"), then corundum (ruby/sapphire which the locals call "saffarr") and you just get SUCKED RIGHT IN. Before you know it, you'll be digging up stuff you never even knew to exist before you got into the rockhound hobby. "Oooh, kyanite!" "Wow! Blue fluorite!" "Oooh Elbaite!" Now (15 years later) I still love hunting quartz, beryl, corundum, and anything shiney and pretty, but I'm also on a little bit of a "gold" kick now. Looking for prospecting sites now and when the weather breaks, Ill be out in those ancient mountains looking for treasure. For me, crystals arent "healing" or any new-age bullsh... They're just beautiful miracles created by our Earth, and being the FIRST and ONLY person to ever see their immense beauty as you unearth them for the first time, helping them receive their first photons of sunlight in a hundred million years to reveal a geological miracle.... well, that's just a special experience I cant put into words.

The sulphur miners are breathing in the toxic gas all day everyday but they are worried about social distancing? Really you've got bigger things to worry about
You don't know how LETHAL Covid is then. The toxic gas is chipping your life away bits by bits. But Covid is a lethal virus, one day you're healthy but in 1-2 days you will get huge fever, can't taste anything, huge headache and Insomnia. And its easily spreading. Those miners have a family too you know.
I know many people believe those items are the most expensive, but just like many other things will it protect you will it nourish you like water 💧 Water is the most useful thing for you
Maslow's hierarchy of needs. At the base is food, water, shelter. Once you have those, then humans set their sights on other things, like entertainment. But they'll always go back to basic needs.
To those miners in Indonesia, mining Sulfur, you are incredible, for $17.00 a day. I honestly salute you, that's not enough for the dangers you subject yourself to. If I could do more I would.
some ppl's advices suck because it's really not advice. parrot copying another parrot and thinking they cured cancer is the product of public schooling.
The Sulphur is derived from a natural variation of the Claus Process. The oxidation-reduction production of native Sulphur. The original gas is hydrogen sulphide, which is more deadly than cyanide gas. This is partially burnt to Sulphur dioxide, and this is then reacted with unburnt hydrogen sulphide, they form the auto oxidation production of Sulphur. There are volcanoes where S is produced from volcanoes in Chile, with some of the elevations exceed 17,000 to 18,000 feet. They are now closed, but were operated for almost a hundred years to provide sulphuric acid for the nitrate and copper industries. These guys would knock off and play soccer in the evening at an elevation most people would faint at! The men in Indonesia are still working in between 10,000 and 11,000 feet. You should try climbing the trail next to them!
Well, when we the "1st world inhabitants" drop our old out-of-style clothes in the "donate your lightly used garments" boxes, I imagine these impoverished nations is where they all go. Doesn't surprise me. If they can use my old Affliction T-shirts from 2014, good for them!
In Vancouver Canada people actually believe if it costs more it must be better. Because of this simple mindedness people have been taking full advantage by simply charging more for the same product which draws a wealthier customer base. Starbucks and marijuana dispensaries are examples of this. Tim Hortons sales went up after raising the prices and offering stronger tasting coffees.
So sad that these countries that produce so much of value are the poorest. Not just the natural resources being exploited but the people are too. The riches of their land are being stole from them.
I am amazed that Indonesia can market their volcanic sulfur when the oil industry can't market their sulfur in some parts of the world despite it's high purity in industrial amounts. There are some mountains of pure sulfur formed near any sour oil refinery. Alberta alone produces nearly 1500 tons of high purity sulfur yearly. they can't even give it away so they end up shipping it to huge sulfur dumps.
It looks like miners in Indonesia would use a pulley system on a rail of types or an overhead pully by manpower or an engine. They would do 5 x as much maybe ever 10 times as much. So, any system that increased the output would pay for itself quickly, i believe. And double or triple the money for the owner and laborers. Just thinking 🤔
39:12 I don’t believe that a lot of opal people normally find sells for $1k or more a karot or everyone and their mothers would be polishing rocks in Australia, I think it’s a very small sample size of opal that sells for that price. I feel the opal market is exaggerated a little bit with the TV shows and all that, and also because opal has to be made into a certain kind of jewelry, it’s not a traditional stone that would be set in a ring or necklace like a diamond or a sapphire, so that limits the market even more. I’m not saying opal isn’t beautiful and isn’t expensive I just think there is a small portion of opal that’s top notch and that has been exaggerated a little bit over the years for the sake of TV.

These documentaries only scratch the surface of the shady business and corruption that goes all they way to the political top and foreign buyers controlling the market. That's where the real interesting stories lay, to bad the media bosses want none of that,. The only thing they want is crude sob stories so they can sell it and get a high viewer count nothing else. Also the production were absolute terrible, whispering narrator trying to overcompensate for som bs. Not a fan of these type of documentaries at all.

Believing stones have magical power is not a normal thought that most people have nor had. Like snake oil salesman, if there were any consequence to such belief, they would not go out of business.

Tin floating is absolutely insane there using a gas motor to supply the air for HOURS and to communicate they pinch the tube...!?!? bro what the actual F*** they have it all setup to be hit or miss like how where did the crew for this rig come from?? How do they have dozens of these bunk boats?? I have so many questions-
A 10 year old child from NA would easily automate the sulphur mines in Indonesia and develop easier ways of transporting it while using gloves. What's wrong with these people? More sulphur means more money which means more PPE etc.
Making Olympic grade stones using a Ryobi lmfao
53:42 ,"She inhales toxic smoke"
Has she tried NOT squatting by the fire on the windside?
Business insider certainly knows how to make me feel shitty about capitalism.
What major company do they sell the sulfur too
same question i was asking. $17 a day is crazy when im sure the company is making billions.
These documentaries only scratch the surface of the shady business and corruption that goes all they way to the political top and foreign buyers controlling the market. That's where the real interesting stories lay, to bad the media bosses want none of that,. The only thing they want is crude sob stories so they can sell it and get a high viewer count nothing else. Also the production were absolute terrible, whispering narrator trying to overcompensate for som bs. Not a fan of these type of documentaries at all. Its weak and people see right thru it except middle aged mothers watching this on TV sobbing their eyes out for the poor workers not being able to grasp the bigger picture of how messed up all of this is ..
I am here with my big flue on the sofa instead of at work , let YT drizzling on me, thinking…. Ha….wouldn’t have known this otherwise…..
22:31 "Josh and his family drove the crystal *half-way* across the country"
Is it me or is the lady from the tin mining related to daffy duck?
The Opal time stamp is wrong. It stars at 34:18.
I was sure your profile picture was titties... Fake titties but titties no doubt. Right. WRONG!! 😂😂😂 NICE One but I also have a filthy mind😊
Meerschaum ist german- translated seafoam means seaspray , beautiful words both 🥰
well nice message for the travelers ! pick extra masks with you and some fresh water !
Why cant they have a truck to toat that sulfer.?? That roads big enough. 😮
Omg can we please send them masks?
Rich people spend the money
Your video is very good, keep it up
Send the president of IKEA a pendent!😅
Believing stones have magical power is not a normal thought that most people have nor had. Like snake oil salesman, if there were any consequence to such belief, they would not go out of business. But, they do. ALL OF THEM. Trendy does not equal value. Reminds me of the tulip craze only multiplied by thousands of different novelties.
It's hard to watch.
shout out all the cobalt miners in Africa, those nine year olds mined,
I wonder how did they get the pipes there and installed them at the volcano?
@user-iy1vo2jf2qThose pipes is instaled by the Company. And all those worker including Mistar himself are all Freelancer and not Employe. So they have to fund their own gear, its already mention by the narrator.
The sulfur minors would get much more work if "stop oil now" get their way. The developed world is so out of touch with those that don't have what we have, and in the same breathe claim that they themselves are oppressed
40:43 Indonasian Tin narration was pretty bad. ASMR in documentary is a big no for me.
I regularly drink salt water
The sulfur miners need crypto. Life changing for them.
That curling stone game is literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen 😂
Indonesia needs to modernize this.
9:37 I heard they have to buy their own gas masks! They should be getting hazard pay.
Interesting.
But this made me feel thankful for the life I've got back home.

Lisp lisp lisp lisp
The miners are banking on the idea of quick buck, some refuse to farm because its not an instant process. The environment isnt deadly but the mentality the miners have is.
probably the live paycheck to paycheck and getting paid daily is the only way to not have to got hungry
So you're basically calling them greedy, greedy for wanting $12 dollars a day so that they don't die from lack of basic necessities.
Shame on you.
@@glitterfalls No, im calling them lazy, for sticking to an old obsolete way to live. they can move away and start a new life away from the sulfur mine and I promise you they will not die, staying will kill them, make sense?
@@glitterfallsthey can also FARM the land and not rely on Sulfur. are you telling me IT IS THE ONLY WAY? come on... thats the exact mentality thats killing the miners
@@glitterfalls just because I have a different opinion doent mean im wrong. What makes you say Ive never been through anything. Youre just mad and cant come up with a logical answer except an emotional reaction. Swipe left.
200 pounds up and dont that mountain/volcano is crazy they are just build differently from us
The geode looked like a shark.
Stone is a symbol of paganism for long time. it not because stone is faulty item. it because how human valuing a stone with human life. even make those item as a source of man problem as such sin.
12:32 The world has no problem with this! Would it be different if they said the same in a USA workplace? 🤔
sulfur has nothing to do with sugar
Is the Amethyst polisher still alive?
If I am exposed to sulfur fumes, I, who have climbed to the Ijen Crater, call it the term
"mengi"
You can travel by ship from Duluth MN to the Atlantic Ocean. So the Great Lakes are freshwater seas?
Frozen Shuffle boar 😊
Opal formation sounds a lot like agates
Don't see many feminists calling for quotas at the sulfur mines huh?
Bruh what does femenism have to do with it. There's women and little girls in foreign countries that absoloutely go in dangerous mines and in general do dangerous jobs for as little as 80 cents so stop yapping😂
Bruh what does femenists have to do with this, there's many women and little girls that do mining and dangerous jobs in foreign countries and get paid as little as 80 cents so stop yapping mate. Making everything about femenism when it ain't that deep😂😴
And I'm not even a femenist but you sound like a zesty angry men's rights activist😅
Your probably American/British saying this. They want their women to be safe unlike you guys😂
@@khadijahbegum3546 lol, I don't want women working in sulfur mines wearing sandals and t shirts either.
What are you even trying to say…? Women in the west are doing fine in the jobs available to them. The whiny genderless left are not actually feminists, just complainers. Go donate protection supplies to those men if you so desire.
How can the Indonesia Gov sleep at night, average age of 50 is shocking. They could easily enforced laws if they wanted. They are quite happy to throw you in jail for years for minor offences.
I worked in landscaping and construction for 20 years as labor 😢.
Meerschaum means sea foam in German
