DIAMONDS and SCORPIONS.

It is reliably learnt that where there are scorpions, there are diamonds. Mostly scorpions live in groups, in sands. These sands have gold or diamonds. Take for example in India.
In Kutch desert, you can not move because of scorpions.
Many camels are reported dead because of scorpion bites.

It appears Africa and India’s western coast have similarity. It can be said that both were one-part, once upon a time. They got separated on account of geographical changes. In Gujarat there are descendants of negro community. They are called Siddis. They have been rehabilitated in Modasa. There is similarity in their culture custom and tradition of Negroes of Africa.

In Africa on the Congo river-bed, in the sands, nuggets, granules of gold and diamonds are found. South Africa is the house of world diamonds and gold..

It is reported that the British company owned the sands of river-bed of Congo. On the river sands, huge force of labourers was engaged to sieve the sand. The sand was also washed with the river waters. There was an army of security staff to supervise the operation. The sand contained gold and diamonds.

The labourers were checked at lunch hours. But they, used to clandestinely fill-up sand in a match box.
Far-off, the Inn-man accepted it. They deposited the match box to the inn man. In return they were given a lavish food plate free.
The security staff also, was engaged in availing a free lunch by carrying a match box full of river sand.
