Video Footage of the Mines

This is a special news report from the Globo network in Brazil. It's about the Amethyst Mines is southern Brazil. It's in Portuguese, but much of the footage can be appreciated regardless of language. It shows how the amethyst geodes are extracted from the mines and the process they go through between the mines and the consumer. It also addreses some of the socio-economic and enviromental issues that exist in minning communities. It's possible that Globo will force the link to be deactivated, so you can always get the video, along with the transcript, here. Enjoy! I would love your feedback. Also, if you ever want to come visit the mines yourself I do guided tours. Feel free to contact me.
