According to a recent press release from Crater of Diamonds State Park, the visitor, Julien N**as, was not on his itinerary. The main purpose of his trip to the United States is to launch the "Peregrine Falcon" lunar lander at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida.
After the launch, Julian planned to go sightseeing with friends to the port city of New Orleans in southern Louisiana, but during a casual conversation, he learned that there was a world-famous Diamond Cits State Park in Arkansas where you could dig for diamonds.
I didn't expect to be so lucky this time. On Jan. 11, Julian rushed to Diamond Crater State Park early in the morning. After buying a ticket to enter the park, he first rented a set of basic tools for digging diamonds, and then went to the park with an area of 37The 5-acre diamond search area begins his treasure hunt.
"I arrived at the park around 9 a.m. and started digging, which was a very tiring job, but I didn't pay off all morning," Julian said. So in the afternoon, I mostly scoured the ground for anything that looked more conspicuous. About three hours later, he went to the park's diamond identification center with piles of collectibles to seek identification, and he soon learned that there was a 746 carat brown diamond.
The diamond has a dark chocolate brown hue and is rounded in shape and the size of a gummy.
It is reported that a few days before Julian's visit, it happened to be raining heavily in this park, which also made it easier for him to find diamonds on the surface. Park Superintendent Waymon Cox said many of the park's larger diamonds were found on the surface.
We regularly loosen the soil in the search area in order to promote natural erosion. When rain falls on the ground, it washes away the dirt, while heavy rocks, minerals, and diamonds are exposed to the surface. The dark brown diamond is the largest diamond ever found in the park since 2020 and the eighth largest diamond unearthed since the park opened in 1972, according to the park.
Julian was delighted with the discovery, saying, "I'm so happy and can't wait to tell my fiancée the good news." It is understood that Julian decided to name the diamond "Carine Diamond" after his fiancée and planned to cut it into two and give it to his fiancée and daughter.
