Kentucky Man Finds 2.95 karat Diamond at Arkansas State Park on July 4th

Park visitor Terry Skaggs finds 2.95 carat champagne colored diamond at the Crater of Diamonds State Park. The Crater of Diamonds is a 911-acre state park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas that contains a 37.5 acre plowed field in which visitors can literally dig for diamonds. It's the world's only diamond-bearing site that's accessible to the public. Terry had been at the park for about 2.5 hrs when he saw something glinting in the sunlight and he walks over bam! there it is, 2.95 carats stone. It is the largest one found at the site this year.  Terry named his diamond the Patriot Diamond.  But the all time largest stone found at the park and in North America was found back in 1924 40.23 carats the Uncle Sam Diamond. Wow! Now that's a GINORMOUS rock! No word whether or not Terry is gonna keep his diamond or sell it. Good Luck Terry. Lucky bastard. hahahahaha

  1. How lucky! That is one way to find a discounted diamond! Not all of us can be that lucky so I will have to keep saving my paychecks to get my diamonds!
