MURFREESBORO, Ark. (AP) - A teenager has found a 7.44 carat diamond at a state park in southwestern Arkansas.
Officials at Crater of Diamonds State Park at Murfreesboro say the rock found Saturday by 14-year-old Kalel Langford is the seventh largest found since the park was established in 1972. The park hasn't provided an estimate of the diamond's value.
The teen said in a statement Thursday that he spotted the diamond among rocks near a stream. He has named it "Superman's Diamond" and plans to keep it as a souvenir.
Park interpreter Waymon Cox describes the diamond as pinto-bean sized and similar in color to coffee.
