What would you say to your wife if you accidentally threw away a 4.38 carat diamond? Probably nothing, considering it's probably twice the size as the one on her finger.

In 1972 Crater of Diamonds State Park opened to the public-the only public mining site in the world. Chad Johnson, 36, was digging and sifting on a Saturday when he unearthed the tea-colored gem. Unaware and thinking it was a rock, he put his equipment away in a locker. When he returned a few days later he took a closer look and saw that the rock was, in fact, a diamond. Johnson's find is the second-largest diamond uncovered at the park this year. In June, a Louisiana man found a 4.8-carat stone. More than 700 diamonds have been found there this year. Sounds like a great date spot nonetheless.
