Northern African mass media doesn't give the real name and address of the girl because they are afraid of her safety and future. And you will understand why.
The girl's parents recollect that Khanuma had never cried until she first met onions, she was joyful friendly open girl and just didn't have reasons to cry. And when she first helped her mother and first cried before the pilled onion, her amazed parents saw that her tears were transparent and solid like rice grains. Being afraid of devil's intrigues Khanuma's parents swore to keep silence as long as possible.
And the did kept silence for years. And her father, a jeweler, studied Khanuma's tears and found that they are rather hard and easy to facet, absolutely transparent and show such glitter and light play that aren't usual even for brilliants! Now he started using his daughter tears for his works. Earrings, rings, pendants with them were being quickly sold out. the girl's father had never deceived people and didn't say they were gems, and kept his daughter's secret as he could. But one of his works fell into inquisitive person's hands, who quickly found out that 'brilliants' are organic, i.e. organic plastic produced by unknown method. 'Phenomena' moved to scientists' laboratory, and family's secret has been reviled a bit, but not the secret of the tears. Scientists can't say what it is. As foe Khanuma, she says that tears doesn't disturb her, they become solid in her lashes but don't stick to them or to skin. And the girl still cries only because of onions.
