A pair of siblings from a tribal family have unearthed an 11.19-carat diamond in Madhya Pradesh's Panna district, marking their second major discovery in two years, reports TOI. The uncut gemstone, found on Monday at the Ahirgawan diamond mine, is estimated to fetch around Rs 30 lakh when it is auctioned by the government.
The diamond was discovered by brothers Rakesh and Raju, whose leased mining pit had also yielded a 19.22-carat diamond in 2024. That gem earned the family nearly Rs 93 lakh at a government auction.
