A Tanzanian miner and father-of-30 children
has become an overnight millionaire after
digging up two massive chunks of one of the
world's rarest gemstones worth $3.35million.



The Tanzanian government handed Saniniu
Laizer a cheque for 7.74 billion Tanzanian
shillings ($3.35million) for the two dark violet-
blue stones during a trading event in the
northern region of Manyara on Wednesday,
June 24.



He discovered the rarest gemstones
which weighed 9.2kg and 5.8kg in the north
of the country last week.

The father of 30 children who has four wives
vowed to use some of the money to build a
school and a shopping mall in his community,
where many parents can't afford to pay for
their children's education.

President John Magufuli phoned to
congratulate Laizer live on television during
the presentation of his cheque.



'This is a confirmation that Tanzania is rich,'
Magufuli told minerals minister Doto Biteko.
