30. Juni 1960. Nach 80 Jahren Kolonialherrschaft sagt sich die Republik Kongo vom Königreich Belgien los. Doch der junge Staat steht auf wackligen Beinen und schon zwei Wochen später erklärt die Provinz Katanga ihre Unabhängigkeit. Sofort entbrennt ein blutiger Konflikt zwischen dem Kongo und den Sezessionisten um die reichen Minen in Katanga; ein Konflikt, der sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit zum Massaker entwickelt. Die UNO sieht sich gezwungen, einzuschreiten und entsendet Blauhelmsoldaten, während die Staatschefs von Katanga eine berüchtigte Söldnertruppe anheuern, um die besetzten Minen zu befreien. Inmitten des Chaos gelangt der Diener Charlie unverhofft in den Besitz eines Koffers mit Diamanten und wird somit zum meistgesuchten Mann Afrikas. Ein Politthriller in historischem Setting, der nichts für schwache Nerven ist. Das Gespann Nury/Vallée (»Es war einmal in Frankreich«) liefert verflochtene Intrigen ebenso wie knallharte Action und lotet dabei die Grenzen menschlicher Grausamkeit und Habgier aus.

Natural Citrine “Kundalini” This citrine is not heat treated. We boo and hiss at that stuff. This material comes to us straight from Africa and as such are as they were when they were mined. We select the best of the lot, although minor damage is to be expected. The local mining conditions have improved but the general infrastructure that these crystals have to go through before they get to us will take many years to get better. We, at most, take a pulsating brush tip with warm water and a water pick to remove as much clay as possible, although this is much harder than it would seem. Sometimes, late at night, I will listen to music and do this for as long as my hands will tolerate! ~*~ Your purchase will arrive beautifully packaged, with a white sage leaf & surprise crystal! It will also be smudged & charged under a full moon, ready to work with you! ~*~ Metaphysical Properties of Citrine: Citrine is the yellow member of the Quartz family.
