Merelani Tanzanite Mine

12 images Created 17 Mar 2016

The Merelani Tanzanite mine in Tanzania is very primitive. The miners work 18 hour shifts in mines that oxygen is piped in through tubes. Water is scarce- as are all amenities. Tanzanite is a rare gem but hardly worth owning after seeing the conditions that the men face to mine it.
