That sounds pretty amazing! No personal experience, but the tv shows make it look like it may be a bit tricky to get stones out of the country. They seem to want the locals in on cutting/polishing etc... But I'm sure there is probably a fine line between hobbyist mineral collecting and mining. Good luck!

I suspect you won't be able to legally export anything you find.

Greenland's large scale ruby industry hurts small scale miners | bridget.com.au

here's the law. Exploration licenses are only granted to Greenlanders. Exploration licenses give you no rights to keep or export minerals.

I've been over it (at 37,000 feet) several times; does that count?
