Aspen Brown was with her family on Sept. 1, celebrating her birthday, when she found the large, brown diamond at the Crater of Diamonds State Park.
Arkansas State ParksIf diamonds are a girl’s best friend, 7-year-old Aspen Brown has a pal for life after finding an immense 2.95-carat brown diamond last week — while celebrating her birthday — at a state park in Arkansas.
Shealyn Sowers, a spokesperson for Arkansas State Parks, told NBC News on Friday that park visitors who find diamonds get to keep them. Sowers did not know an estimated value for the diamond found by Aspen Brown. Brown’s diamond, park officials said, is the first large diamond registered since the completion of an excavation project last month at the park, which is about 110 miles southwest of Little Rock.
“There was no skill required for her to find it,” Brown said in the statement. “She was just in the right place, at the right time.”
