Sky,

How great is that! Very cool story.

"I thought it was a piece of paper or foil from a candy wrapper," Tana said. "Then, when I touched it, I thought it was a marble. I think God pointed me to it. I was about to sprint to join my family, and God told me to slow down and look. Then, I found the diamond!"


Tana named the diamond "God's Jewel," park officials said.

....Last month, a Louisiana man found a 2.89 carat white diamond at the park. Brandon Kalenda of Maurepas found the gem on March 6 and said he plans to keep it. Kalenda named the diamond "Jax Diamond" after his infant son Jackson.

can you just imagine the feeling of finding a diamond on your own...

Thats got to be a great feeling for sure.

Best I can compare was finding gold  nuggets in the river,
and that was pretty thrilling.

That spot had a few good gems hiding there
there in the dirt...I would be paying that
place a visit if I were close.
