万花筒 2013-11-01&11-04 美国14岁少女捡到3.85克拉钻石 价值3万美元（在线收听） |
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 of Diamond State Park earlier this year. This is a story we did on GMA. Well, she then convinced 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 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 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 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. |
