should not be a

everyone to boycott Myanmar gems or precious
stones but don't tell boycott US made killer

heard that any Myanmar precious stone killed
anyone, so what '
A lot of hard
working Myanmar people do business with
precious stones, like ruby, sapphire, jade,

and sell them. Actually most
Myanmar precious stones end up for sale in
Bangkok and

obviously no idea what's going on
and as everyone know this is nothing
new !
