  patricia. the indigo coloring is everywhere in sahara to find. there is a shiny indigo chechs verry beautiful, if you open them in a room, you have in a second all the appartement blue. thoes chechs are verry important in sahara. maybe you have seen photos of touareg with the blue in the face and hands. this dark color on face helps to walk and see in the sun, you have less insects flying arround, the skin dont get dry.

  I just hope the tar is not what we usually understand about "tar",  because that would be hazardous for the health (if milk was kept in it). Indigo is not a problem. Hope for the best.

  @ok thanks for the info. Probably you are right about the two types of tar. I will try to find some info on Google, when I have more time.
