About this blog

Welcome,

I would like to invite you to follow the gemological expedition I had with one of my former students during summer 2006 to the Panjshir valley in Afghanistan. Our purpose was to explore these famous mines, to get a first hand update about their activity, create local contacts and to collect some scientific samples in order to increase our "Emerald Origin Determination" capacities...

All the best,

Vincent Pardieu
