Michael found the diamond was much smaller, and at first the boy's family did not even realize what it is.
"When I brought the bag and took out the stone, the guy who was sitting there, just got out of the orbits of the eyes," - says Michael. "He told me to wait a bit, and went into the back room. And then from there ran out a lot of people who have been congratulating me and say that this is a very big diamond, "- says a little lucky. Michael called his 5, 16-carat treasure "Glory Diamond Will of God." According to preliminary estimates, it can cost $ 15,000, reports the Daily News.
