20,000 Afghans Mine Gems
A report indicates that around 700 mines in Afghanistan are currently operating, and that 180,000 Afghans work in mining and the gemstone trade, though there are no verified figures for revenues. Workers earn about $130 a month, while a carat of high-quality emerald can fetch up to $10,000. A lack of specialized equipment leads traders to take the stones abroad.
