The massive rough gemstone, dubbed the Queen of Asia weighs 683 pounds. It was discovered in a gem pit in the southern city of Ratnapura (Sri Lanka) in September, but was unveiled by the owners a few days ago. A rough gem of this size is full of surprises. Quality is an issue. The owners are looking for a suitable buyer. In my opinion, it's a museum piece. No one knows its value till someone buys the rough gemstone. Stay curious.
