Christian Liden found the diamond in the park in Arkansas on March 10.

On the third day, when I was sieving the land to dig, Liden saw something sparkling lit up.

I know right it is a diamond.

Liden for the gemstone into the plastic bag, bringing the diamond detection center of the park, where the staff confirmed he found a large yellow, heavy 2.2-carat diamond.

This is the largest member found in the park from October last year, when a person comes from Fayetteville digging a $ 4.49 carat gold diamond.

After leaving the park, Liden intended to find Opan in Nevada before returning to Washington.
