A 14-year-old boy strolling through the park finds a 7.44-carat diamond valued at 920,000 euros. Kalel Langford, 14, discovered the valuable gem in a state park in Arkansas and changed his life forever.
Young Kalel Langford experienced, at just 14 years old, how a simple walk can change the course of a life. In 2017, after paying an entrance fee of only 10 dollars, he discovered one of the largest diamonds found in the famous Crater of Diamonds in Arkansas. Since then, his feat has gone around the world, attracting the attention of curious onlookers and gem experts. During a family outing, Kalel was peacefully walking near a stream when he spotted a stone with a particular dark brown hue and a shine that, at first glance, seemed unusual. Without hesitation, he decided to take it along with his father to the Diamond Discovery Center, the official facility where they analyze visitors' discoveries. What was the result? A 7.44-carat diamond, valued at around 920,000 euros (this value is an estimate based on size, the rarity of the color, which can reach approximately 1,000,000 dollars) one of the largest recorded in the history of the park.$FUN
