Fayetteville resident finds 3rd largest diamond on 5th trip to diamond mine

The third largest diamond found this year at the Crater of Diamonds State Park was discovered on Halloween by a Fayetteville resident, Steven McCool. The canary colored 4.49 carat diamond was found by McCool while wet sifting some of the park’s dirt.
This was McCool’s 5th trip to the state park and his first diamond discovery. The diamond is about the size of a jelly bean. McCool said he’s not sure if he’ll keep the diamond or sell it.
