One should never forget the labour and toil of the thousands of workers in the giobertite(magnesium carbonate) deposits of Halkidiki and particularly of the women who from the age of 12 quarried their land's white treasure.
True heroines, who in an unfriendly, patriarchal environment stood praiseworthy and together with their partners turned this pure white rock into exchange and into a day's pay, averting, thus, immigration and managing to create the basis for their prosperity.
Furthermore, a historical reference is made to all the giobertite deposits in the area of Halkidiki. |
