Arkansas Man Finds Massive 9 Carat Diamond That He Suspected Was A Piece

An Arkansas man has found one of the largest diamonds yet unearthed in a state that is known for the precious gem happening upon a stone that weighed in at over nine carats that he originally thought might have just been glass.It kind of looked interesting and shiny so I put it in my bag and kept searching.
I just thought it mightve been glass Kinard said.
According to Kinard he picked up anything that looked like crystal while searching the plowed rows in the parks diamond search area.
To his shock park officials confirmed Kinard had unearthed a diamond when they reviewed his findings.
Its unclear at this point how much the gem could potentially be worth.
An accurate estimate would need to be done in person by a jeweler.
The Amarillo Starlight reached a polished weight of 7.54 carats with a price estimate of at least 150000.1 or 2.
Thats how many diamonds are usually found each day at Crater of Diamonds State Park.
So far 246 diamonds have been found there in 2020 according to Arkansas State Parks.
Admission to the diamond search area at Crater of Diamonds State Park is currently limited to 1000 people per day because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Arkansas is well-known for its diamonds especially at Crater of Diamonds near Murfreesboro which is home to the only active diamond mine in the United States.
Diamonds in the area are often found loose in soil after being unearthed from a funnel-shaped crater formed after a volcanic vent exploded millions of years ago.
That natural event has preserved the diamonds according to Arkansas State Parks. All data is taken from the source: Article Link: diamonds newscbs usanewstoday newsworld newstodayupdate newsworldwide
