"Around 10.00 am we left Mr. T., Mr. K., and the Pailin gem market to drive to Suon Umpal area where Votha told us that some people were mining. There after about 200 meters walking along the stream we found 2 men mining the river gravels. The older man was digging and collecting the gravels using his hands and feet while the younger one was washing that gravel in order to isolate and then pick the sapphires and zircons they were containing." (Pardieu, 2009)
