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 Davdar emerald mines in the western Xin Jiang province of China. Our purpose was to explore this new deposit which started to produce emerald in 2001, to get a first hand update about its activity, create local contacts and to collect some scientific samples in order to increase our "Emerald Origin Determination" capacities...

All the best,

Vincent Pardieu
