Seven-Year-Old Girl Finds 2.95-Carat Diamond at State Park in Arkansas on Her Birthday
A seven-year-old girl has found a 2.95-carat golden brown diamond in a state park in Arkansas.
The girl, Aspen Brown, was celebrating her birthday on September 1 at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, when she made the shocking discovery.
According to a press release from the park, “Brown’s find is the second-largest registered by a park guest this year, topped only by a 3.29-carat brown diamond discovered in March.”
“A contracted company dug a 150-yard trench in August to help manage erosion on the north side of the search area,” said Caleb Howell, park superintendent. “Several tons of unsearched diamond-bearing material were exposed and it’s very possible that this diamond and others were uncovered as a result.
