A yellow diamond weighing 6.67 carats was discovered on Tuesday at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.
Described as the size of a marble, the diamond is the second-largest stone discovered at the park this year (after the 8.66-carat white diamond discovered in April by Beth Gilberton) and the ninth-largest stone discovered at the site since the park was founded.
The stone has been registered as the Teamwork Diamond, since it was found by a group of visitors led by Daniel J. Kinney III and Thayer Walker. Kinney has visited the park over 20 times and found 34 diamonds, including this most recent discovery.
Thus far in 2011, visitors to the Crater of Diamonds State Park have found a total of 501 rough diamonds.
