Yea its a rock, but a special one?
Considered God's hidden treasure, it is an cave filled with Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Topaz and Quartz crystals, unspoilt in total wilderness, situated near Swakopmund Namibia. Should I destroy the natural surrounding by mining or preserve? This may be the largest find in the world. Similar finds estimated 570M years old. Can be viewed, pic's available. Can $ value be attatched to such a find?
If it brings value to the people that mine it Yes.
For your information small scale gem mining or small gold mining does more for the people in the surrounding area then it does the do-gooder ecowhacks that want to stop it.
Tourmaline fetches good money, as does aquamarine, topaz, diamonds and opals.
I am a recreational prospector, I spend weekends and summers looking for treasure. Without mineral exploration you would not have a computer, (which might be a good thing). Dolts like you have no clue as you've likely not put in a hard days work in your life. You come out of liberal arts college taught by socialist professors and see mining as a blight. When without mining or farming the world would be a much different place.
Hell yes mine it.. If you can stake a claim on it have the back to work the claim why the hell not??
