Siri Leads Family to 2.09-Carat Diamond at Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds
After asking Apple's virtual assistant Siri for mining locations, the family found a rare 2.09-carat brown diamond among only five diamonds discovered on the park's surface in December.
- On December 30, James Ward, 41, a high school teacher from Cypress, Texas, found a 2.09-carat brown diamond, Arkansas State Parks said.
- After asking Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, the family was directed to an Arkansas diamond site, leading them to organize a trip in December, according to park release.
- After a freezing first day the family returned and searched two more hours near the West Drain, where James raked dirt with his fingers and spotted a metallic-looking crystal before taking it to the Diamond Discovery Center for inspection.
- In honor of the trip James named it the Ward Diamond, the family said they have "No idea" about selling, and it adds to 540 registered diamonds and over 35,000 finds since 1972.
- The Crater of Diamonds State Park remains one of the few public diamond sites where gems formed in the upper mantle rose via an ancient volcanic pipe, Arkansas State Parks said recently.
