If you are lucky, you can become a king from a pauper in a moment. Something similar happened with a seven year old child. Like everyday, he went for a walk in the park early in the morning. But he got such a thing that within a moment his family became rich. This discovery of the child is going viral on social media.
According to the Daily Mail report, Riley Betteridge, a resident of Queensland, had gone to play as usual in the park located 200 meters from his home. Then he found a shining stone. He thought there might be a pearl. He picked it up and brought it home. When it was shown to the jeweler, it was revealed that it was a 14.5 carat sapphire. Its price in the market is 10,000 dollars i.e. approximately Rs 8.83 lakh. In the video going viral on TikTok, Riley is shown in her school uniform. He’s running around excitedly to show the rare stone to his father Matt. Matt and Amber Betteridge have a business in Queensland.
the most precious stone ever
Matt said, my son has been looking for sapphire since he was just 3 years old. At that time, while living on my shoulder, he had found a sapphire. But this was the most precious stone he had found so far. Some time ago, while carrying her daughter, Betteridge found a sapphire worth $2,000 buried deep in the soil. Peterson, who carves gems, said, the sapphire that Riley has is really amazing. There is no internal fracture in it. Its price can be much more than $10,000. If it is carved it will fetch a lot of money. He explained that bright colors sell at a higher price than dark colors. This video has been viewed approximately 2 million times on TikTok.
People are congratulating the child
Many people are congratulating the child. One person joked that he would definitely get a day off school because of it. Another wrote, I’m surprised he knew exactly what he was looking for! We all might have picked up something like this, but thought it was a stone and threw it away! Mr. Betteridge collects sapphires in his underground mine using only a pick and shovel. Two years ago, when he was on an evening walk, he found an 834-carat sapphire in the dirt, whose estimated value was $12,500. Australia is one of the few places in the world where faceted sapphires are found, after the gems were first discovered by gold miners in the 1850s.
