. To say this place it out in the middle of nowhere is an understatement, but they are now in the news as the location where True North Gems " discovered an extremely-rare, cobalt-rich variety of the gemstone mineral commonly known as spinel. [...]The Beluga spinel has an unusually-intense and strikingly-beautiful blue colour, the chromophore (colouring agent) of the new mineral find is the rare element cobalt." The company is still trying to figure out how much money they are going to make off this new gemstone find, but who knows? Maybe you'll be seeing this hyped on your local home shopping network in the near future.
