Dear Keith,
Nice to hear from you after a long time. Hope
this
finds you well. It is really nice to hear your interest in gems and jewellery. So, you have asked me about the largest gem that we found recently in the Rathnapura area. At the first
, I was surprised that you ask about this
, see how fast this
news travel.
To begin
with, as you may know already it is the largest stone that we have ever found. Moreover
, according to the authorities, it is the largest of its kind. Thus
, they are yet to define a value for it, I heard they have already found some buyers who are willing to buy this
by any means.
It is not strange, why people need to keep this
in their possession. It will definitely help to show their pride and wealth to the world.
You might not know this
headline is so important to me because of two reasons. First
, I also
live nearby to the site where we found this
gem. Secondly
, I am also
a person who collects these kinds of things.
Let me stop here. Please find some photos of my collection on the next
page, If you need any more details, please feel free to contact me.
Best Wishes,
