We have received in the Spanish forum a curious and interesting post from México that we translate for you:

"My name is Alejandro, and I am from Mexico. I have a legalized mining activity on a new Aquamarine mine. The mine is certified by an expert. We start to find some Beryl specimens near to the floor surface. Some of them with a really good size, the best one, with 9x4.5x4 cm. was 1.5m deep. We have been working in the mine for a short time but we have accumulated approximately about 4 kilograms of pure crystal, we have 10 kilos more but we are looking for more.
We had drilled only 2 small shafts. The deeper is 2 meters and the area where we are currently working is very small on 100 square mtrs and the extension of the mine is 33 hectares, but due to lack of budget we are moving very slowly."

Warning!: a Spanish member of the Forum visited this mine few days ago and he bought several fake specimens with the crystals badly glued on the matrix, so please take care with this mine and don't buy specimens from there.
