Murfreesboro, Arkansas – In a tale that seems straight out of a fairy tale, a young girl’s birthday wish turned into a sparkling reality. While most children her age might be content with toys or a new dress, this 7-year-old received a gift that’s truly one in a million.

Aspen Brown,a resident of Paragould, Arkansas, was celebrating her 7th birthday with a visit to the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro. Little did she know that this trip would lead to a discovery that would make headlines across the nation.

While exploring the park, Aspen stumbled upon a rare 2.95-carat golden brown diamond. The pea-sized jewel, shimmering under the Arkansas sun, caught her eye almost immediately. With excitement, she showed it to her family, who quickly realized the significance of her find.

The Crater of Diamonds State Park, known for being the only diamond-producing site in the world where the public can search for diamonds, has seen many finds over the years. However, most of these diamonds are smaller than a grain of rice, making Aspen’s discovery all the more remarkable.

Researchers and gemologists at the park confirmed the rarity and value of the diamond, dubbing it the “golden brown” due to its unique hue. The park’s officials were equally thrilled with the find, noting that such discoveries, especially by someone so young, are what make the park a magical place for visitors.
