An Arkansas man found a 3.29-carat brown diamond at the Crater of Diamonds State Park earlier this month. It is the largest diamond found in the park since September 2021, the park said in a statement.
David Anderson, a regular visitor to the park, found the diamond on Mar. 4 while searching through soil in the park's 37.5-acre diamond search area. He named his discovery B.U.D., which he said stands for "Big, Ugly Diamond."
Anderson said he initially thought the stone was quartz. It was identified as a brown diamond with a pitted surface. Brown, yellow and white diamonds are the most common ones found in the Crater of Diamonds park.
