Owned nearly a hundred million dollars overnight thanks to digging bamboo shoots in the mountains
Going up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, an old man in Zhejiang, China accidentally found a stone worth nearly a hundred million dollars.
Mr. Liu, 69 years old, lives in Shihuang town, Shengzhou city, Zhejiang province, China and often goes to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, but today something strange happened.
The stone Mr. Luu found was golden in color
While hoeing into the ground to dig bamboo shoots, he heard a strange noise. At first he thought it was the sound of hitting a small pebble, but after trying a few times to lift the pickaxe, he still couldn’t dig it up. He persevered to see what was underneath that layer of soil, because there was a large bamboo shoot in that location, and did not want to give up.
He continued to dig down and dig up the surrounding soil to get the stone out. What he did not expect was that the shape of this stone was different from other stones, the whole body of the stone was yellow, so he decided to take it home.
When looking at this stone, the family blamed him, saying that the old man had spent so much effort but brought a strangely shaped, useless stone home. He ignored what he said and took the stone to be cleaned.
In the past, Mr. Liu often saw news about accidentally finding an item that seemed worthless but ended up being a priceless treasure, so he asked an expert to evaluate this stone.

After appraisal, the expert discovered that this was not an ordinary stone but a valuable Dien Hoang stone.
Dien Hoang stone ranks first in China’s gemstone list, known as the “king of all stones”. In ancient times, this stone was also considered a tribute to the king. Dien Hoang stone is extremely rare among people because it is extremely limited in quantity and of high quality, and many people seek it out to collect.
The stone that Mr. Liu dug up is not only complete but also large in size, it can be said to be a priceless treasure. Experts estimate the value of this stone at about 580 million yuan.
Knowing the information, he was extremely shocked. He did not expect that the stone he accidentally dug up would have such high value. Finally, he decided to sell this stone and use the proceeds to enjoy a prosperous life.
