Greething Dealer :- This page may have some intresting information for all of you, we have visited the mines and spend the nice time in beautiful valley of kohistan of pakistan , in this page you can see some pics of the mines areas as well as some pics of the people in the mines, Enjoy these.
Oh yes i must share some information with all of you about this mine.
This is a mine which produce top quality peridot
of the world, the speiality of this mine is of production of big sizes of
peridot , and thei is exceptional in all over the world and very famour in
prodcing big sizes and top quality peridot.here also you can find crystals
and specimens of peridot, but peridot speicmens are now little low in production
as well as this year hte production become more less than before, and there
are a shortage of nice quality this year,but still you can find what you want
, thats a game of money, for top quality now must spend little more than before.
Some other thing:- The place where the mine is located is easy reachable , there is no convence you can use, you must walk of ride donkay or horse if you want to reach the exact place of minning , and another thing is shortage of Oxygen, when you go towards height then there is shortage of Oxygen and the people who live regularly in this type of atmosphere , maybe can spend little more time, but the people who live in regular Oxygen place may have problems, and cant spend a lot time there, and this is a reason i didnt went to the exact place of minning , Bcaz not easy to walk around 24 hours in high mountains or ride in donkar or horse.
Hope these information will be helpful for all of those who want to know some thing about this place.
