Arkansas Man Finds Largest Colorless Diamond in State Park’s Recent History.

A man in Arkansas visited a famous state park with his girlfriend and ended up walking out with a 4.87-carat diamond—the largest colorless diamond found in the park this decade.

At Crater of Diamonds State Park, anyone, foreigner or citizen, can come and comb through the hills and ditches for diamonds, which is exactly what Jerry Evans from Lepanto was doing in spring of 2023.

Within ten minutes of entry, Evans saw what he thought was a piece of glass on top of a plowed ridge, picked it up, and stuffed it in his pocket.

Wow, great find. Maybe if he and his girlfriend are serious he will use it to make into an engagement ring.

Spice wouldn't that be a romantic idea.

Within ten minutes of entry, Evans saw what he thought was a piece of glass on top of a plowed ridge, picked it up, and stuffed it in his pocket.
“I thought it might be a piece of glass, it was so clear. I really didn’t know,” Evans said. “We were picking up everything thinking it was a diamond."

I would have no idea this was a diamond.
Good for him!

Kerri his lucky day and agree, good on him.

I'd mistake it for glass as well. Even ice crystals sparkle like diamonds.
What a unique find!
