Experience Bush Life with Marc Sarosi
A professional gemstone dealer and gemstone miner living, mining and buying gemstones in the African Bush in the 1980's and 1990's.

Colored Gemstone Mining
Small-scale gemstone miners produce the vast majority of the colored gemstone production in Africa, as in most parts of the underdeveloped world. Sometimes using only rudimentary tools, fire and occasionally home brewed explosives, these gem miners are remarkably efficient and knowledgeable. These images will give the viewer a better idea of how most loose semi precious and precious loose colored gems are mined in Africa.
Processing Gemstones
One of the most difficult parts of being a gemstone dealer and importer of loose semi precious and precious loose gemstones is acquiring high quality gemstone "rough", which is always in short supply and in high demand. The processing of the gems by skilled cutters is often the difference between making and losing money. These pictures illustrate the highly skilled process where "rough" gem materials are turned into polished gems
