A 31-year-old woman, Micherre Fox, unearthed a 2.30-carat white diamond at Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park after weeks of searching. Fox, who planned to use the diamond for an engagement ring, had been searching for two years. The discovery, made on July 29th, is the third-largest diamond found at the park this year and is now named the Fox-Ballou Diamond. Fox's perseverance highlights the unique opportunity the park offers for amateur diamond hunters.
