This article makes it sound like she found a fully faceted diamond. "pear shaped"?

I think they meant pear shaped in the general appearance, not a fully faceted pear.

I wonder what clarity it is....

We need to get a group together and go diamond hunting!The biggest diamond found in the state was the Uncle Sam diamond that weighed 40.20-something carats(if i remember correctly)and im sure we can bet that record easily!

We actually booked a trip there two years ago but cancelled at the last minute. Everyone we spoke to told us to dedicate two weeks to digging all day long (from 9:00 to 5:00) if we really wanted to find anything at all, and we shouldn''t be disappointed if we didn''t find anything because most folks don''t. There are families who go there once a month almost all year long and dig in a different place every time and still find nothing.

Ya'' gotta'' get lucky.

Field Trip! Field Trip! Field Trip!

I know DH wouldnt let me fly across the country to dig in hopes of finding a diamond. Then I will show him the article and prove it isnt such a bad idea after all.
