For Will Barnett and his son Marshall, a recent road trip from Arizona to Arkansas turned into something they won't forget anytime soon, as they managed to find a diamond while digging at the Crater of Diamonds State Park.
It began with a road trip between an Arizona father and his son, and it ended with the two coming back home with a two-carat diamond.Marshall and his father, Will Barnett, went to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. It's a unique place where anyone can go and dig for diamonds. Per the park's website, it is one of the only diamond-producing sites in the world where members of the public can search for diamonds in their original volcanic source.
"The two later took a shiny rock up to the diamond identification center."They finally call us back, and the park superintendent let us know it was a 2.03 carat Arkansas diamond. Second largest diamond in the park that year," Will said. "We're talking, like, 0.0002% chance of finding one that big, so we definitely played the lottery on the way home that day too!"For Will and his son, the trip was a bonding experience that is as rare as the diamond they found.
