MURFREESBORO, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A man from Washington visiting Crater of Diamonds State Park found a two-carat diamond during his third day on the hunt at the iconic spot.

26-year-old Christian Liden, of Poulsbo, Wash., said he wanted to find the raw materials to make his own engagement ring. He started by panning for gold around his home state. After five years, he had accumulated enough for the ring. Up next, it was time for the diamond — which led him to Arkansas.
