Treasure hunting in the Venzuelan Gran Sabana.
In the jungles of the Amazon, on the high, barren plateaus of the tableland mesas where centimeter-sized diamonds and big gold crystals have been unearthed. The area is so inhospitable that companies have never been able to establish mining operations. This is the Kingdom of “El Trompo Rojo”. Some Americans named him the “Jungle Buyer” because he always has the best gold crystals and diamonds. His real name is Alejandro Stern, but in Venezuela he is known as “El Trompo Rojo”: this is how people refer to one of the rarest gems ever discovered here, the “blood red Diamond”, a single carat of which can fetch approximately one million dollars.
