Teen Finds 3.85-Carat Diamond in State Park

Tana Clymer tried her luck at the Crater of Diamonds Park after hearing of another success story.

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 commits to 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 of it was going to find anything.

Fourteen-year-old Tannel was about two hours into her 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 candyrubber 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 is 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 of North Coriorlano 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.
