Jugurite is a rare violet gemstone found only on the planet Cabanna, and this find is larger than any other previously recorded. Shipments of unrefined Jugurite crystals are expected to soar as the mineral is mined over the next few months. Already, orders from jewelers and gem cutters from all around the galaxy have poured into the company's computerized ordering system. Bedeco has doubled its mining crews in order to meet the new demand. <<< DATELINE 11.23.98 - Kappakaphkappa, Vega (27:04) >>> After waiting twenty three months for red tape, customs inspections and imperial legal tangles, a large shipment of artwork & sculpture was placed on display at the New London Museum Of Alien Cultures on Kappakaphkappa. The exhibit went on public display on day 27. Much of the works are for sale, and many come from the mysterious ruins of Legume. "Artwork was collected by many private explorers who braved the dangers of the Legume wilds to search for treasures." said Ahrle Nemotisi, Assistant Curator of the museum. "Many of these individuals had their ill-gotten booty confiscated by Imperial Customs while trying to smuggle the loot off-world." he said. Atria has strict laws forbidding the removal of ancient Traal artifacts from the Legume desert ruins. __________________________________________________________________________ � T H E E C O N O M I C R E P O R T ��� The Economic Page lists all 50 planets of The Core.
