CNN —A lucky youngster got the birthday gift of a lifetime when she discovered a 2.95-carat golden brown diamond in Arkansas. The budding gemologist discovered the diamond while celebrating her seventh birthday at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, according to a news release from the park. Aspen Brown’s September 1 discovery “is the second-largest registered by a park guest this year, topped only by a 3.29-carat brown diamond discovered in March,” says the release. “Brown was visiting the park with her dad and grandmother to celebrate her birthday,” the release reads. The 37-acre field where visitors can search for treasures is the eroded surface of a volcanic crater, according to the park.
