Update abour ruby and Tsavorite mining in Kenya
Entry 1 of 1 | show all | print this entry |
We arrived in Nairobi, Kenya on July 8th, 2005 from Madagascar . The main focus for this fieldtrip in Kenya was on ruby, but we had also an interest in other gemstones such as spinel and Tsavorite.
We traveled in Kenya first south to Voi and the Tsavo region famous for its national park in which are located some famous ruby mines. Then we returned to Nairobi to go north to the Baringo region to visit a new ruby deposit producing interesting "flamingo color" gemstones.
