Diamond discovery in the schoolyard Soil

"I was digging in the soil behind my middle school with a plastic spoon, looking for a misplaced house key I knew I needed to return to my boss. Instead of soil, the ground felt like wet gravel. As I scooped, I saw something catch the light—this huge, rough-cut diamond about the size of a plum, caked in dirt. I picked it up and wiped it on my jeans, and it was so bright and clear it almost felt warm in my palm. Suddenly I wasn't at the school anymore, I was sitting on the rug in my living room, dumping out an old shoe box onto the floor. Dozens of raw, sparkling diamonds spilled out like marbles. I felt this soaring, incredible feeling in my chest, like I’d stumbled onto something life-changing and all my financial stress was instantly gone. I started frantically stuffing them into my jacket pockets before someone could walk in and ask for them back, my heart pounding with pure, unfiltered delight as I clutched a handful to my chest."
