4ft Emerald Rock Found In Brazil

Looks like an ugly rock but it's actually very precious.

1.
The rock, which weighs 794lbs (360kg) and stands around 4.3ft high (1.3 metres), was unearthed in the Carnaiba Mine, Bahia, in north east Brazil.
2.
It would require a forklift truck to lift the huge cluster of jewels. The stone is so precious its location is kept a secret and it's said to have its own "bodyguards".
3.
There are only two giant stones with this density of crystals in the world, and the other was the subject of a legal dispute over ownership between Brazil and America. Extracting the stone was extremely difficult. It took ten people more than a week to get it out because it was 200 meters down in the ground. Experts predict it could be worth approximately $300 million.

Can you believe that this ugly green-blackish rock is full of these?
