First stop was at a Fossil Factory (tour leaders words). The Sahara used to be covered by ocean in ancient times and now the sedimentary rock is quarried out and the gastropod, shrimp and marine life fossils are revealed. We went to a place that gets the stone from the quarry and makes a whole array of artwork revealing the fossilized life forms.
I purchased a few small items specifically a small gift for my brother who I am so proud of passed matric and will be studying geography next year. (geography includes stones right?)
Astonishingly I managed to not blow the budget on gems. Good for Me...
