| Introducing.... A New Representative...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 | | Sayed Adelshah Alawi |
We Welcome....Sayed Adelshah Alawi
... Afghanistan
Sayed Adelshah Alawi is Ultra Tec's new representative in Afghanistan. He is located in the capital city, Kabul. Sayed is a businessman in Afghanistan, and an experienced Ultra Tec user himself. With this interest, Sayed has been aware of the attention that the gem community has focused on Afghanistan, a result of the extensive gemstone findings there. The very significant deposits of emerald, ruby, kunzite, tourmaline and aquamarine - and other gemstone materials - which in the past were smuggled into neighboring countries and sold as rough - now represent an outstanding opportunity for domestic development in Afghanistan, and, of course, a source of employment and livelihood for its people. We welcome Sayed to the Ultra Tec team - and join him in supporting Afghanistan's rise in the gem world.
