Excellent presentation, wish you could do one on Madagascar quartz and agates, my specialty. I have carved some Mad river agates into one of a kind stones years ago.... cant wait to see a deposit in person someday.
Great video. Sadly the auto-generated subtitles aren't accurate. Does anyone know what the 3 rare minerals are that Wim mentions at 3:36? Pezzatite? ? ?
I’ve been to Northern Madagascar as well. Madagascar is a very rich country in terms of natural resources, but its people live in dire poverty. Locals have no choice but to mine illegally, it’s that or let their families starve. In the end, it’s the governments and foreign corporations that make all the profits while destroying the fragile ecosystem.
Excellent production
