MURFREESBORO, Ark. (AP) - A teenager has found a 7.44 carat diamond at a state park in southwestern Arkansas.

Officials at Crater of Diamonds State Park at Murfreesboro say the rock found Saturday by 14-year-old Kalel Langford is the seventh largest found since the park was established in 1972. The park hasn't provided an estimate of the diamond's value.

The teen said in a statement Thursday that he spotted the diamond among rocks near a stream. He has named it "Superman's Diamond" and plans to keep it as a souvenir.

Park interpreter Waymon Cox describes the diamond as pinto-bean sized and similar in color to coffee.

1. Crap, the one I found is about the size of a pin head. It's fun but

terribly hot work to go there. Been there twice.

3. Both times I went...

All I found was mud.

It was fun, though.

2. One of those brown diamonds.

Jared (Jewelers) calls them "chocolate" to make them sound more desirable. I don't think they are particularly pretty, but good for him. I hope he is able to make a little money on it if he chooses to sell it.

4. Lol

Chocolate diamonds. Nope, it doesn't work. Not at all desirable. I love chocolate but not a diamond fan. And those chocolate diamonds are hideous.

5. Uncut Arkansas diamonds sell for $1000-2000 a carat.
