This is ruby. It’s found in West Pokot. What people call banditry is actually a cover, they use violence to keep others out so they can mine these valuable stones quietly. A kilo goes for 84,000 ksh and it's being exported in tonnes.
@Mkenyaa_daima one of my favorites.. tuchape hawa watu nani
@Mkenyaa_daima Something always tells there's a bigger picture to the banditry i swear.
@Mkenyaa_daima Ruby has been mined in Baringo, Sandai &Pokot from the 60s. It is extremely poor quality. What they call bead quality, less than 100k a kilo. The VVS or VS grade is almost impossible to find in Ke, though is reported a former politician had found one of the best stones in taita
@Mkenyaa_daima West Pokot also has a very massive gold belt. And yes, banditry is a scam and very artificial and has nothing to do with culture
@Mkenyaa_daima West Pokot’s Substantial mineral deposits: limestone & gold. Other minerals: Talc, Nickel, Kyanite, Asbestos, Garnet, Molybdenum, Chromite, Graphite, Mica, Gemstones, & possibly Copper (exploration). Kenya’s mineral resources info should be readily available to the public.
@Mkenyaa_daima @polo_kimanii Can You confirm this Maneno? Ruby in pokot?
@Mkenyaa_daima But we were told Kenya has no minerals our only raw materials is coffee n tea? 🤣😢
@Mkenyaa_daima Where there is violence, there's money to be made
@Mkenyaa_daima I keep saying that!! There is no way all that violence is for some measly cows! (I didn't know what the mineral was .... but I can bet my life there is more than one type).
@Mkenyaa_daima Also, this carbon credit fuckery will completely take away our lands.
@Mkenyaa_daima Remember the White Helicopters? They dont come to pick cows!
@Mkenyaa_daima This is not true. There is banditry in west pokot. Many people in pokot are bandits. They have not been made bandits by Europeans. Their own culture made them so
@Mkenyaa_daima Waaah 🥺🥺🧐🤔 finally the truth is out. I never understood why they always fought🤜🤛
@Mkenyaa_daima I knew there is something amiss there...Cover Up
@Mkenyaa_daima Wout the genro accidentally spotted while in the sky n the choppa had 2b dropped down quick fast like a stone, allegedly 🤔
@Mkenyaa_daima This... Group chats/ conversations A lot can be found in Kenya We wanted to do things the right way, though... (finish last... which is also fine) • You will be shocked what people propose to you wn comfortable • The goal was to empower, not steal from the country/ continent
@Mkenyaa_daima The Mining Act is clear on permitting artesanal claims and operations on them.
@Mkenyaa_daima Our parents were not concerned. We are.
@Mkenyaa_daima I can confirm this is true. I have green ruby
