A stunned woman who found a £21,000 diamond in the forest will use the gem to pay for house repairs and her children's weddings.
Genda Bai found the precious stone on July 27 after going out to the forest to gather firewood in Purushottampur village in the Panna district, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Remarkable footage shows the woman dressed in a red saree holding the diamond between her fingertips, as she later hands it to one of the officials who wrapped it with a piece of paper.
According to reports, the tribal woman named Genda Bai had gone to gather firewood when she came across a diamond weighing 4 carat 39 cents.
Its estimated price was Rs 20,00,000 (£20,614), where it would be expecting to fetch upwards of £20,000.
The woman, who often sold firewood and used her wages to afford repairs, picked it up and came rushing home to tell her husband of her find.
The couple could not identify the gleaming stone and went straight to the diamond office, where they came across diamond expert Anupam Singh who revealed its true value.
And now the diamond will be sold at an upcoming diamond auction, where it is hoped it will fetch a hefty sum for the deserving finder.
After unearthing the diamond, the woman said that the condition of her house was very poor.
Genda hopes to be able to use the money to put it towards her house repairs as well as help her children out.
She has four sons and two daughters who are going to get married and plans to help her kids out by paying toward their weddings.
With the amount received from the diamond, she hopes to have enough for her daughter's weddings and to rebuild her house.
