Um, like what - Diamonds from South Africa and Rhodesia (Now Zimbabwe)?
Actually, it's us "civilized" folks that have no brains! Here is a completely useless and un-valuable mineral, which nobody in the local-to-the-mineral area had any interest in. Some smart business people (who were Dutch...!!) owned some land upon which this mineral was found. Then they told the rest of the world that it was highly valuable and sought after - AND WE ALL FELL FOR IT!!!
How stupid of us!
