Panna (MP): A group of seven Brijpur-based farmers here found a 3.21-carat diamond in a diamond mine in the Lalki Dheri area that the farmers had taken on lease from the authorities. After more than a month of continuous digging, the farmers found a huge shining diamond, which they immediately collected at the government office located in Panna.
Rajendra Gupta, one of the seven farmers, said that the money received from this finding will be equally distributed among all of the seven farmers. The gemmologist in the area, who the farmers consulted, has told them that the diamond they have excavated is a high-valued stone and would possibly fetch them a heavy amount. Rajendra said that he feels extremely fortunate to have found the diamond, and plans to start a business from the money it would fetch him.
