[LilMenace68]

how much is lapis worth? and how is it made?

[cookiemonster9052]

@LilMenace68 it's not made, it's mined.

[LilMenace68]

@cookiemonster9052 i know that, i ment the process on how it's made beneath the earth, like how and why this rock is blue.

[cookiemonster9052]

@LilMenace68 oh, my bad.

[LilMenace68]

@cookiemonster9052 no problem.

[SheepFreak2]

looks like lapis lazuli is actually as hard to find in real life than in minecraft xD

18 diamonds and no lapis... -,-

but poor folks... at least i get my coffee while 'mining'

[The1nX]

Just because everyone's screaming minecraft... MINECRAFT. And the people who are looking for real lapis lazuli are so frustrated.

[itgamer100]

Dim pick anyone?

[Ep1CzPS3]

I wanted minecraft? :S

[TheInternetwatcher]

All the Lapis Lazuli videos are going to get more views now that its in Minecraft.

[raptorinator]

I WANTED MINECRAFT.

[DancingDesman]

I WAS LOOKING FOR MINECRAFT.

[thefirstpkable]

@DancingDesman same, what is lapis lazuli used for?

[theotherwhitemeat841]

@thefirstpkable In minecraft Lapis Lazuli is used for dyes it can also make a cool looking block by putting one in all 9 crafting squares.

[pitrek06]

@DancingDesman Me too :P

[Haloball346]

@DancingDesman LULZ ME TOO ^^

I found some lapis in a dungeon, and looked it up on youtube what it was!

[DEADreef]

ITS THE PROPERTY OF MUSLIMS OF AFGHANISTAN AND FOR ALL MUSLIMS OF THE WORLD AND FOR PEACE FULL PEOPLES AFTER PERMISSION .THE FOREIGNERS ... ITS NOT ILLEGAL AT ALL .

[rlaproductions]

since it's afghanistan, you should get out of there!

[t2battikhi]

why would someone flag the UNDESADSD as spam??? they are saying that the video was significant enough to be picked up by the United Nations and shown at their own seminar on Mining for educational purposes...! I personally think it is GREAT that this video is being recognized in this way...

[couerl]

I hope they can keep the money and not give it to the Taliban. USA supports the Afghan people, well at least I do...

[143afghan]

hay proud to be from afghanistan and espacially from this province i mean BADAKHSHAN .......and withs its LAPIS LAZULI

[esma99001]

[chyna98]

I love this mineral, I'm gonna get me a gold ring with inlade with lapis lazuli.

[MotionForce123]

its a rock not a mineral :)

[Akalack]

@MotionForce123 what do you think rocks are made of dumbass?

[ZacVrono]

@MotionForce123 Rocks are minerals. Herp derp.

[Diamonddavej]

Sar-i-sang has been worked for 8,000 years, it is found in the jewelery of the Egyptian pharaohs. Women are not allowed near the mines, the miners say they bring bad luck.

[SirianKings]

@Diamonddavej

LOL @ "women bring bad luck to the mine."

[jaedenahmed]

Islam is the truth.. visual anomaly your condescending and critical attitude is what is extreme. These people want nothing to do with you and your ideas. They are Muslim and they are living their lives the best they can. May Allah reward them! Jazakum Allah Khairan

[Konfuzing]

Well said.

[phialen]

huh

[stockshunter]

I hope Al-jazeera could run a documentarty about yellow cake mining one day!

[VIsuaLANomaLY]

Fascinating piece.....uneducated men mining these mines....where do they turn when they aren't given proper compensation for their work?.... In some circumstances they turn to Islamic extremist organizations....Here, they're provided with a sense of belongingness and of empowerment through extremist beliefs that cast a veil of criticism and denouncement towards any alternative form of faith over their own....

[pakhtoonhalek]

tats my country ;) My stones can buy the world for me.. Proud to be AfGhAn
