The Find of a Lifetime

*What is this thing?!*
*It's huge!*
*I think it's mica.*
*Me too.*
*Walks over to a park official*
*Excuse me, what is this? We think it's mica.*
*Uh boys, that's not mica...OH MY GOSH!!! IT'S A DIAMOND!!!!*
*It's a diamond?!?*
-----------------------------------------------------

A pair of eight year old twin boys have made an amazing discovery!
The Duncans were at the Crater of Diamonds State Park, located in Arkansas for a weekend vacation.
Little did they know that there, they would make the discovery of a lifetime!
The Duncan twins found a 2.50 carat raw diamond!
At first, the twins thought it was a piece of mica; but when they found out it was a diamond,
"There were many 'woo hoos and high fives exchanged," said Rachel Engrecht of Crater of Diamonds State Park.

Another park official said that the stone could be worth several thousand dollars. (Or more!)
He described the stone as, "having a metallic sparkling look, and almost heart shaped."
The diamond has been named, "The Duncan Twins," after the boys who found it.
