Great pictures! It is clear that you are not afraid of heights ... I am pretty sure I would be "hugging the mountain" in the last picture.

Great pictures, and you've sure got a head for heights, that would sacre the begeebas out of me.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, they really help put sourcing gems into perspective.

Yikes! I have very little fear of heights by most standards, but my husband is a mountain climber who just has to be part mountain goat. I see him do things like this and have to look away - I keep imagining scraping him off the ground with a spatula, but objectively he's quite safe.

That's really interesting seeing the quartz pegmatites across that granite face..although the trail doesn't look to wide :D ! How deep are the excavations?

Hello Sir, do you still run these tours? Is there a weblink you can share where one can read up about your services, and get to know the process and how to prepare?

The first thing you need to do is get is a very smart, casual looking outfit from Calvin Klein.
