A miner from Tanzania became a millionaire thanks to the stones found

Amazing cases of luck happen in everyone's life. But there are people who are lucky like no one else. 52-year-old miner from Tanzania Saniniu Kuryana Laizera belongs to this category of lucky people — in the summer of 2020 he was lucky twice and the man became a millionaire.

Miner Saniniu has a large family even by the standards of Tanzania. He has four wives and 30 children, to whom he must provide a decent standard of living. Therefore, he has been working in the mine all his life, doing hard, dangerous and not entirely grateful work.

But at the end of June, fate decided to reward the hard worker and Laizera found two tanzanites, weighing 9.2 and 5.8 kilograms. It is a rare and very valuable mineral found in only a few deposits of the planet. The gemstone is valued for its purity and rich play of color, from sapphire blue to amethyst purple.

And he did the right thing, because fate decided to pamper him again. He came across tanzanite again, this time weighing 6.3 kilograms. The state did not stint this time and paid $ 2 million for the find. Now Laizer's big family will definitely not be in need if they spend money wisely. The lucky man himself, after a little thought, decided not to change his vocation and stayed to work as a miner.

It must be said that the lucky man has been working tirelessly all his life and his loved ones have never needed. Laizera's family keeps more than 2,000 cattle and receives a good income from the sale of meat and milk. Journalists asked the newly-made millionaire if he was not afraid for his life after everyone became aware of his wealth. But the miner is sure that nothing threatens him in his area, since decent and hardworking people live around.

The neighbors are sincerely happy for Saniniu and believe that he deserved the wealth he received. But on the Internet , the luck of a simple miner from Tanzania has raised serious doubts. Two such valuable finds, and even almost in a row, seem suspicious to users.

In addition to the fantastic beauty of tanzanite, the bowels of our planet hide many other amazing precious minerals.
