A mountaineer gets half a treasure he found 8 years ago

A mountain climber gets half the value of the stones, which amount to about 150,000 that were found 8 years ago at the top of the French “Mont Blanc”.
“The mountaineer found emeralds and sapphires on top of the highest mountain in Europe in 2013, and he has now been allowed to keep half of the stones by the French Mont Blanc Council,” the French news agency AFP reported.
This comes after the local authorities announced that they had not found the original owner of the treasure.
The agency added that “the council used gem experts to divide the treasure equally between the climber and the local council, as the value of each share amounted to 75,000 euros, equivalent to about 84,000 dollars.”

The council stated in a Facebook post that it will display its stones in the French Chamonix Crystal Museum, which is currently undergoing renovation and maintenance, and is scheduled to reopen on the 19th of this month.
The network reported that “the gems were transported in 1966 on an Indian Airlines Boeing 707, called Kanchenjunga, and it crashed in Mont Blanc, killing 117 people.”
