| Decades back a woman in Romania found a 3.5kg stone in a stream bed and used it to keep a door open. After she died in 1991, a relative inherited her home and suspected that the stone may have some value. As it turns out it is the biggest piece of rumanite, a type of amber, ever found, older than 38 million years, and worth around one million euros. related: #amber #nugget #rumanite |
