Navas then traveled to New Orleans. And along the way, learned about Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. which has an important point of attraction for tourists is to open up an area of ​​almost 95′ as a mining site allowing tourists to dig for gold or fossils That made him very interested.

On January 11, Nawas arrived at the park, bought a ticket and rented a basic mining kit. “I got to the park around 9 am and started digging … that was a lot of hard work. So in the afternoon I mainly looked for things that stood out above the ground.”

Fortunately for Nawas, it was a few days before he arrived. It’s raining in the park. Therefore, the excavation site was wet and muddy.

Park Assistant Superintendent Waymon Cox explained, “When rain falls on the mine field, it will wash the dirt away. and reveals heavy rocks, minerals and diamonds close to the surface.”

says Cox Many of the park’s biggest diamonds are found on the surface. And the park will periodically plow the excavated area to loosen the soil and improve natural erosion.

With this condition combined with personal luck Navas found a stone that was dark chocolate brown and curved like marble. and it is about the size of a candy And when they were taken to the park officials for examination, it was found to be a “Brown diamond weighing 7.46 carats”

Nawas said he was shocked and all he could think about was telling his fiancee what he had found. He named the diamond “Carine Diamond” after his fiancée. and plans to split the diamond into two, one of which will be given as a gift to the bride-to-be. and keep one for his daughter.

The Karine diamond is the eighth largest diamond found in Lum Phet State Park since it was opened for mining, and the park said visitors find an average of one or two diamonds a day These diamonds occur From around 100 million years ago volcanic eruptions caused diamonds to be forced to the surface.

Navas said, “This park is a magical place. Where dreams of finding diamonds can come true! It was a great adventure,” adding that he hopes to be able to return to the park with his daughter once she is older.
