Woman finds diamond while watching YouTube video on how to find diamonds
Miranda Hollingshead was on a day out with her family at Crater Of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.
A woman found a 3.72-carat yellow diamond in a park – as she watched a YouTube video about to find diamonds.
Miranda Hollingshead, from Bogata in Texas, was visiting Crater Of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas with her family when she made the discovery.
The park contains a 37-acre diamond-bearing search site in which visitors are allowed to hunt for gemstones – which they are allowed to keep if they do find one.
The site, which is an eroded volcanic crater, has been throwing up diamonds for more than a century, with more than 75,000 discovered in that time.
The gem found by Ms Hollingshead was the biggest yellow diamond found at the site since 2013, and the biggest of any kind since March 2017.
“Ms Hollingshead said her gem’s unique shape reminded her of a rounded molar, with a small indentation in one end.”
Ms Hollingshead said she was intending to keep the gem – which she and her son named the Caro Avenger – and probably have it set in a ring.
