In an extraordinary turn of events, a farmer from Peravali village in Kurnool district struck unexpected fortune. Following heavy rainfall in the region, a rare and valuable diamond was discovered in his field near Pattikonda, an area known for occasional diamond finds during the rainy season.
Reports say the diamond is estimated to be worth over ₹30 lakh. The farmer, instead of keeping the gem, sold it immediately to a local diamond merchant for the same amount. However, some sources claim that the diamond’s actual value could be much higher in the open market.
With news of the find spreading rapidly, the incident has sparked a diamond rush in the region. Many locals are now seen searching their fields, hoping for similar luck. While the identity of the farmer remains undisclosed, this rare find has become a major talking point across Andhra Pradesh.
