“Thank you, Jesus!” were the first words that resounded from Dewy White of Paoli, Indiana, after he spotted a glimmering stone in his dirt-filled shovel.
Visiting an extinct volcanic crater in Arkansas during a fall road trip with his wife, White unearthed one of the countless diamonds the geological formation is known for yielding in its regularly-tilled topsoil. Crater of Diamonds State Park is the world’s only diamond mine open for the public to dig and sift for the precious stones.
