About this blog

Welcome,

I would like to invite you to follow the gemological expedition I had with Jean baptiste Senoble, to Tanzania during summer 2005. Our purpose was to explore this ruby, sapphire, spinel and tsavorite deposits in this gemstone rich country. Our goal was mainly to get a first hand update about the mining activity there, to create local contacts and to collect some scientific samples in order to increase our "Ruby and sapphire Origin Determination" capacities...

All the best,

Vincent Pardieu
