Unfortunately you will have to buy the book. It is sitting on my lap and I may scan an image and upload it, but then I may not.
If you really want to be stupended than go to your local bookseller and order a copy of "workers" by Salgado.

Or Google South American gold mines. A lot of publications have done articles on them, as well as the African diamond mines.

xoB, my son would have turned three this past Sept. 26; he passed away a couple of months ago. But that wasn't a bad idea... maybe I'll do that with the shades of citrine that are my daughter's birthstone

Wow, Treasenuak, I'm ..
I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. That's so inadequate for what I'm feeling. You haven't asked for my input, but that kind of bombshell, delivered so casually... I'm just stunned. I have nothing to add, nothing to give you but that I share your grief. If I'm out of line in any way, I sincerely apologize. I know you haven't asked for anything. But... wow.
