Diamantele, o afacere maloasa.

Kalimantanul e, printre altele, faimos pentru ‘minele’ de diamant – in unele inca se mai folosesc tehnici traditionale. ‘Minele’ sunt de fapt niste baltzi in care se arunca din cand in cand noroi proaspat si minerii dau la sita toata ziua in cautarea grauntzelor sticloase. In functie de Voia lui Allah gasesc 2-3 sau mai multe pe saptamana. Se vand la fata locului cu 50-200$, in fct de dimensiuni.

Cine se-nsoara in curand? Are cineva idee la cat ajunge un diamant de dimensiuni mici-medii in europa / .ro? Sa ma apuc de intermedieri?

Pe langa diamante mai sunt si pietre semi-pretioase: safir, agathe, ochi de pisica, si altele care arata exact ca dimantele da sunt mult mai ieftine.

diamantefinding diamonds – a muddy business

The villages of Lukaas and Sungai Tiung in Cempaka, southeast of Banjarmasin are a primary source for diamonds in South Kalimantan. Indigenous artisanal miners in this region still dig for diamonds, which are found in gravels and muddy sediments at depths of around 10 meters. The men dig in groups of 10 to 20 people, using baskets to bring up the slurry. When a pit is dug to the correct depth, horizontal tunnels are then dug to the sides.#
