But it led to nothing. No others like it were found immediately in the same locality. In March ^869 two years later a Griqua shepherd found a magnificent diamond near the Orange river; it weighed 83% carats, and was sold by him for 500 sheep, 10 oxen, and a horse. Subsequently, it brought 25, 000, and became known as 'the Star of South Africa. ' Indeed, it was the dawn of a new era. With that dis- covery began a great rush to the banks of the Vaal. At first from the neighboring parts of South A...frica and then from every quarter of the globe there thronged a motley mob of fortune-hunters. The majority were men of British descent, but even the stolid Boers were attracted, every European nation was represented, and with them all shades of black and brown, from the undiluted negro to the mezzotint half-breed. To all of these the winding Vaal was as the valley of Sindbad the Sailor. Meanwhile, bigger discoveries had been made on the farmlands of the Dutch squatters, for it had been proved that the distribution of the gems was not restricted to the alluvium of the river flats, but extended through the surface soil and calcareous cement into the yellow and blue ground con- stituting the matrix of the diamond.
