Really love this story, it's about an Oklahoma teen who found a huge diamond at the state park. She heard about a young boy who found a 5-carat diamond at Arkansas Crater 1 of Diamond State Park earlier this year. This is a story we did on GMA. Well, she then convinced 2 her parents that she should try her own luck.
The Clymer family spent the weekend at the Crator of Diamond State Park in Arkansas, hoping to uncover 3 a diamond in the rough.
“I didn't think it was going to find anything.”
Fourteen-year-old Tana was about two hours into the search of the 37-acre park. And she was almost giving up when something shiny about the size of a jellybean caught her eye.
“I saw something goldish and shinning. It was not a candy rubber or a marble.”
“She came to show up and the minute she opened her hand I knew she had something.”
Park expert evaluated that something and told her the news Tana had just discovered a 3.85 carat canary diamond.
“They said they hadn't found one like this for a very long time. My heart just stopped.”
The park has a finder’s & keeper's policy. And Tana parents say that the diamond is now being kept in the safety deposit 4 box. Back in August, twelve-year old Michael Dettlaff
of North Carolina found a 5-carat diamond in the same park. And that headline is what inspired Tana to try her own luck.
“I had this gut 5 feeling that I needed to look. I name it God's jewel because I think God led me towards it.”
Sure,it's pretty. And we want to thank our station in Oklahoma city for sharing that story with us.
