United States: a Frenchman unearthed an exceptional precious stone – (France 2)
A Frenchman who was on vacation in the United States found a very rare diamond. The precious stone weighs more than 7 carats and was estimated at several thousand euros. The lucky guy decided to offer his treasure to his future wife.
In his fiancée’s hand is a precious 7-carat diamond. It was estimated at several tens of thousands of euros. A rarity that surprises the young woman. “Now we have to go see the diamond cutter.” At the beginning of January, while traveling in Arkansas (United States), Julien discovered the stone almost by chance, in an old mine open to tourists. In the crater of an ancient volcano, the magma brought up thousands of diamonds.
One of the largest diamonds found in the United States
An amateur gold prospector, he tried his luck by digging the ground for a ten-euro ticket. “I wander around the park alone with my sandwich, but after a while I see something shiny”, he remembers with a smile. He then thinks that the stone, brown in color, is a quartz or another stone, but did not expect to have found a diamond. With this discovery, the Frenchman entered the top 10 of the largest diamonds found in the United States. His fiancée will soon wear a ring adorned with this diamond.
