I also stocked 2,500 kg of azurite from Laos from the same vendor as the malachite. On my last day of shopping in Guilin, I also wanted to buy his centerpiece azurite as my main collection display at Tucson. I have been eyeing this piece for 2 days. Unfortunately, he told me it was sold online two hours prior. I was so sad that I missed out on this 47kg azurite. The morale of the story is if you find something you like and price is very fair, buy it and take off the market immediately.

I spent one week in Yangshuo (Guilin, Guangxi China) and saw some of the most stunning views in the world. It is famous for its fabulous Karsts formations and the Li River with the cormorant fishermen. I have tried to capture its beauty in this short film and hope you enjoy it!

Head in the Clouds is a short clip shot from a drone during our trip to a limestone hill formation near Guilin in China. Li River cuts a lazy path between emerald green hills creating a surreal landscape. In early hours of the morning before the big boats arrive the river is peaceful and soft clouds are hugging the hills.

Traveling over and through the incredible karst limestone mountains at Zhangjiajie and Guilin, China
This is Reed Flute Cave in Guilin, Guangxi, China. Composed of natural limestone, this cave, which is filled with multiple of stalactites, stalagmites and rock formations, has been one of Guilin’s most visited attractions over the last 1200 years.
The cave itself, which is named after a type of reed used to make flutes, is over 180 million years old. Inside, there are more than 70 inscriptions written in ink, which can be dated back as far as 792 AD in the Tang Dynasty. Today, lighting has been installed to make the formations within look particularly stunning.
