California man contests Bahia Emerald ownership claim
A California man testifies in Los Angeles court over the ownership of the 840-pound Bahia Emerald. He says he bought it in 2001 for 60 000 dollars, lost it to theft, and later appeared in photos with the gem while others seek to prove true ownership. The case centers on competing claims by several businessmen and the long, storied path of the rock from Brazil to New Orleans and Las Vegas.
