MURFREESBORO, Ark. (AP) — A teenager has found a 7.44 carat diamond at a state park in southwestern Arkansas.
Officials at Crater of Diamonds State Park at Murfreesboro say the rock found Saturday by 14-year-old Kalel Langford is the seventh largest found since the park was established in 1972. The park hasn’t provided an estimate of the diamond’s value.
The teen said in a statement Thursday that he spotted the diamond among rocks near a stream. He has named it “Superman’s Diamond” and plans to keep it as a souvenir.
Park interpreter Waymon Cox describes the diamond as pinto-bean sized and similar in color to coffee.
The largest diamond ever discovered in the United States, the 40.23 carat “Uncle Sam,” was unearthed on the land in 1924.

Like the dumb Fks that tell everyone they found a huge bag of money or gold coins .. cant people just STFU?
The park hasn’t provided an estimate of the diamond’s value< see.. already knee deep in shit.. ha wait until he gets hit by IRS for not claiming it
LOL! Agree with you Enemy of the State about stfu on stuff you find!
Thinking, carat, clarity, cleavage are all factored in, in determining worth. (Can’t tell clarity from pic) so if hit with a bill from any agency (or the park) would be taking it out to sidewalk and checking it’s mohs scale with a hammer (he’s just a kid doing a science project). Oops! lol!
