<br /> <br /> All I am saying, Mac, is that the problem is that the White Gems that the Bulk Sample said would be there were not.<br /> <br /> And that is the main problem, which dwarfs any other problems.<br /> <br /> The Bulk Sample said that we should mine 1,920,000 White Gems a year.<br /> <br /> The company says the number of White Gems mined was 14% of ~6,500,000 carats per year, or ~910,000 White Gems in a year. <br /> <br /> That is <u><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>~1,000,000 carats per year less</strong></span></u> than the Bulk Sample anticipated. <br /> <br /> <span style="color:#ff0000;"><u><strong>IF A WHITE GEM HAS A ROUGH VALUE OF $100/CARAT, THAT IS $100,000,000 LOST INCOME.</strong></u></span><br /> <br /> I say that is a huge, huge problem and dwarfs all others.<br /> <br /> If you disagree with that, I have to think you're crazy.<br /> <br /> Disagree all you want, but those numbers don't lie.
