(Baonghean.vn) – Recently, many people from Ke Khoang and Ke Mun villages, Chau Binh commune (Quy Chau) have come to the construction site of the Mong village reservoir irrigation project to look for red stones.
 |
A large amount of soil and rock was excavated from underground to build the Ban Mong reservoir. |
 |
Taking advantage of the excavation and construction of the reservoir, many people came to search for red stone. |
 |
This man's efforts for a whole day were just worthless black stones.
|
 |
However, because of the thought that this land has red rocks, many people still diligently search for luck. |
 |
This man searched all day but could not find the red stone... |
 |
... but only young and poor quality quartz stones have no value.
|
 |
For a long time, the local government has strictly prohibited the mining of gemstones in Quy Chau. However, the act of searching for stones on the waste rock of the construction unit of the Mong village irrigation reservoir is considered not a violation, so people dig freely. |
 |
A poor quality quartz found after a day of "picking" stones. |
 |
The phenomenon of people coming to the construction site of the Ban Mong reservoir has been going on for many days now. Word of mouth stories about people digging up stones worth billions of dong have created a fever of "picking up" stones. If in the coming time, the construction unit and local authorities do not take measures to prevent and propagate, this will lead to potential problems.security and order in the area. |
