pictures of deep well mining

« on: March 15, 2007, 03:43:22 PM »

I had the good opportunity to work as the gem specialist for a Discovery program on gemstones. we spent 5 days at the mines filming and exploring here are a few images of a deep pit mine in Rathnapura Sri lanka.

This pit is around 100 feet deep and air has to be pumped in and water out.
