Soon after he dug up another, for which he realised £2,500; and then his luck reached a climax when he unearthed this large stone, which is described as of perfect lustre. He has been offered £19,000 by a syndicate of local dealers, but has refused, as he declares he can cut the gem into forty stones, each of which will bring £1,000.
