For those curious ...

... diamonds are not free at Crater of Diamonds State Park; there is a daily fee for visitors to enter the search area. The fee is currently $15 for adults and $7 for children, while children 5 and under enter for free. Visitors who find diamonds are allowed to keep them, following the park’s “finders, keepers” policy.

Buy a Lab created diamond. They’ve pretty much prefected them to the point they look better than the earth mine ones (just as long as the cutting is good).

>>Does she have a feller…

Possibilities:

1). She has a girlfriend.

2). She is Bipolar and needs the ring to try to satisfy her maniac mood swings.

Could go either way.

Note the story said she cried when the rock was verified to be a diamond.

“”Does she have a feller to go with it?””

Volunteering? I would say a gal who would TREK from NY to AR might be worth looking at twice.

How any carats after it’s cut? How much does the cutting cost? Details details.

Jeez, that’s almost free, considering you get to keep the diamonds.

She will mount it in her belly button and model it on her fans only account. Money comes to money.
