A frantic search is underway for a large gem worth £1.3million after the owner dropped it in a river.
The jewellery store boss regularly films live-streamed videos to promote his range of goods to the public.
During his latest broadcast, he was showcasing the valuable Emperor Green Jade in natural light on the street when he accidentally dropped it.

The stone bounced off the embankment and landed in the water below.
He asked the authorities to seal off both sides of the river channel to carry out an immediate search for the green rock, valued at £1.3million (CNY 12 million).
He then hired a company to drain the water from the river in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China.
After several days of pumping water from the channel, salvage workers have yet to find the missing gemstone.
The jewellery store owner is reportedly offering a reward of £220,000 (CNY 2 million) to anyone who finds it.
The search continues.
