    A fellow friend/jeweler in a nearby city to me was part of an
    unusual lost diamond story. His teenage daughter was riding around
    with her friend in her friend's old beat up rust bucket of a car. The
    daughter noticed a ring hanging from the mirror of her friends car
    and asked her where she got it, with a reply that she had found it in
    a parking lot or something to that order. The friend said she thought
    it was just junk jewelry. My friends daughter, having grown up around
    this business all her life, had enough of an eye to know real stuff
    from costume, and persuaded her friend to let her father take a look
    at it. They found out that it was a very large diamond, large enough
    that he said he could sell it in his store easily for 20,000. Of
    course the girl was astounded. especially since her car was so junky
    that she couldn't even lock the doors. A typical teenager with a very
    untypical mirror decoration that was easily worth at least 10 times
    (or more) of the value of the car it was decorating.
