Agreed Dvs
And I would venture that if,.......all we had was ''commercial quality'' we would have an early indicator, as the auction would be held in Jaipur, as GEM did to flog off the lower quality stones, to the Indians. imho
The ''gem quality'' buyers would most likely not even travel to attend, as they would not be interested in costume jewellery stones and grinding discs. imho
The decision to hold the auction in Singapore would to me, add additional confidence as to the quality of our gems.
The artisanal miners are being managed on site by MUS staff, and they would not be paying the locals, until each gem was thoroughly scrutinized, and it's value decided upon. imho
Again, I would suggest asking Vinnie to inspect our gems at an appropriate time, prior to our inaugural auction.
Even if we had to spot his airfares and accommodation, it would be money well spent. imho
My Musings Only.
