Madagascar's interim president, who seized power in the Indian Ocean island nation last month, has unveiled a 300 kg (661 lb) gemstone that he said had been found in the presidential palace. "An emerald with its natural matrix is rare," he said, adding that officials have found no record of a similar stone ever documented in Madagascar.
