✨ About the book

Buried in the heart of the Tanzanian savannah, the Williamson mine has been known for decades for producing some of the purest white diamonds in the world.

But sometimes, a miracle of nature emerges from its depths: an exceptional pink diamond, mysterious and coveted, which some call "the tear of God".

In this new episode of his adventures, Patrick Voillot takes us to East Africa. This time, he is not alone: at his side is the woman who will become his wife. Together they face the wild lands, crossing paths with traffickers, unscrupulous adventurers and fearsome animals, until they descend into the legendary tanzanite mines, another unique treasure of this country.

An authentic adventure story in which Africa becomes the stage for an initiatory quest blending danger, wonder and precious stones of rare colours.
