Question: what comes to mind when you think of minerals? Is it the various tools, equipment, and heavy machinery that is required to dig into the earth to find those substances and gems buried deep within the earth’s crust? Or is it the outcome: the gold and silver jewellery, the powder-like substances etc?
We have been thinking about minerals and wondered how wealthy our land is. True enough, we have heard about the minerals one is certain to find in Kenya but the question is, have we known about all the minerals that our country has? This next story collection seeks to discover the known and unknown minerals of Kenya, the places where they are found, the stories behind their discoveries, and even the mining process behind them. Gather your notebooks, some comfortable hiking boots, and as many tools as you can, because we are about to go on a mineral hunt!
