Anybody else read this? Kind of fascinating! I would love to go to this place someday.

I hadn''t heard this story, although I did read about the find mentioned at the end in an in-flight, I think it was in an in-flight magazine.

One of my nephews is into rocks and minerals and I''d love to take him to the park! It sounds as if the odds of actually finding a diamond there are smaller than a .01 pointer, though.

Thanks for sharing the story!

It would be fun to go just to see it and maybe find a diamond.
