The Lucky Partners
According to an NDTV report, the newly mined diamond by Majumdar can help him get as much as Rs. 30 lakhs. How’s that for luck! However, it should be noted that Majumdar is not going to be the only beneficiary to the price the diamond is going to fetch.
As he is associated to 4 other partners, the amount will be equally distributed between him and the partners. “We are five partners. We got the diamond weighing 6.47 carat, which we deposited at the Government Diamond Office”, he was quoted by reporters saying.

Majumdar’s Previous Fruitful Mining
Earlier in 2020, when almost all of us were looking at the sky, cursing our fate, Majumdar had another tryst with luck and had mined a 7.44. carat diamond. That’s clearly not all, as he had earlier mined diamonds that weighed about 2-2.5 carat in the span of two years. While precious stones weighing 2-2.5 carat may not seem as impressive as a 7.44 carat diamond, it would have still fetched him quite a sum.
