    These people are truly amazing, And I absolutely fell in love with the culture. Sharing tea and a ruby to symbolize a bond shared between each other. The hospitality. Beautiful people. I have a dream of going there one day.

    Love that you go right in and talk with the people, see how they work and get a different understanding of it all, I commend you for not just rocking up with a fat wallet like the gem isn't worked hard for, you are respectful and kind to these people. Great video, Thank you for taking us with you 👍🏼🇳🇿

    • @Lawsongems
      @Lawsongems  Před 4 lety +4

      Thanks for your support :). I think it is really important to know and connect with the sources of gemstones. I made another documentary about a work in Madagascar that really gets into the people behind the industry, I think you would enjoy watching it :)
