weaver hillbille 488 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 So how much of a claim do you think Brazil has on this beautiful rock? Wasn't it found on private property? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoser John 1,240 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 A old friend in Mariposa actually got to see that gift from Mother Earth and said he was so befuddled he couldn't speak a cohesive sentence for quite a few minutes. Sensory overload I can understand as at a gold fair in Auburn I got to hold a football sized eteched gold mass that was soooooo heavy it cut into my flesh and I didn't even realize it or feel the pain. Just so much info to process with mindboggling species as these-John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garimpo 2,288 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 WH the rules here are hard to find out if their true or not. Here we don't have all the info available that you have there for research.I've heard that private property doesn't mean much here. If it's something like this Emerald the powers to be declare it a national treasure and in most cases confiscate it. I do know that it's illegal to ship minerals, gold being one even within the country and for sure out of the country. My stepdaughter works in the post office in this states capitol and she says the Federal Police are there every day and they open every 10th package that is going out of the country. If they find something illegal they conficate it. So from what I understand since the Emerald wasn't declared it was shipped out illegal and does belong to Brazil.

I'll need a drool cup though as I'll be salivating like a mad dog. One in a 1,000,000 lifetimes find-John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
