Overview
- The gem-quality 15.34-carat stone was recovered in Krishna Kalyanpur and lodged with the Panna Diamond Office.
- Attribution varies across reports, with PTI naming Satish Khatik and Sajid Mohammad as co-discoverers while at least one account credits Khatik alone.
- Estimated values differ, with unnamed valuers citing about ₹25–30 lakh and a district diamond officer placing it at over ₹50 lakh.
- The find came roughly 20 days after a 6×6 metre lease was taken for ₹200 under Panna’s small-plot mining system.
- A district examiner said at least four more similar-size stones are typically sought before organizing the auction, with proceeds paid to the finder after royalty and tax deductions.
