Kalel Langford, a 14-year-old from Centerton, Ark., was in town for a baseball tournament March 11 when he and his parents visited Arkansas’ Crater of Diamonds State Park.
The teenager was walking near an area called the East Drain, in the southern portion of the park’s diamond search area, when he spotted a sparkling, dark brown stone. “It was just a few inches from a stream of water, with a bunch of other rocks that were about the same size,” he told the park authority later.
The shiny brown rock turned out to be the seventh-largest diamond found at the Arkansas state park since 1972.
