(FILES) -- A file picture taken on September 11, 2012 shows a rope of three climbers walking at 3400m near the Dent du Géant (Giant's tooth), in the Mont Blanc massif in France and Italy. French climber scaling a glacier off Mont Blanc got more than satisfaction for his efforts when he stumbled across a treasure trove of emeralds, rubies and sapphires that had been buried for decades. The jewels, estimated to be worth up to 246,000 euros ($332,000), lay hidden in a metal box that was on board an Indian plane that crashed in the desolate landscape some 50 years ago.
