Josh Lanik from Nebraska was on a family vacation, and 24 July visited the Crater of Diamonds National Park, where he left with a “cognac-colored gem” worth thousands of dollars, the park said on Monday.
“I was walking where apparently there had once been a large stream of water and I saw it,” Lanik said.

“I saw a shine, and when I picked up a stone and rolled in my hand, I noticed that it had no sharp edges,” he added.
Then Lanik showed the gem to his wife and hid it in a brown paper bag with other found stones and minerals. Then they went to the center of the diamonds in the park.

“She didn’t tell us it was a diamond, but from her reaction we were pretty sure it was,” he said of the employee examining the stone.
Soon after, park officials informed the man that his find was 2,12 carats, the largest diamond found there all year.

Another park official said the recent showers may have helped him with the find.
"The park received about 16 inches (14 cm) of rain on July 35," said employee Waymon Cox.
“After the rain, the park staff registered many diamonds found right on the surface, including two weighing more than 1 carats.”
