A historic discovery occurred in Arkansas‘ Crater of Diamonds when a woman unearthed one of the largest diamonds ever found there. Keshia Smith from Pennsylvania can be seen bursting into tears after discovering the massive diamond, before rejoicing and barely holding it together.
In the video, the woman can be seen hugging two men and crying. She manages to hold back celebratory tears long enough to take a picture with the two men. Keshia then proceeds to show off her arms, asking, “How about these guns, girl?” An interview introduces her brother and boyfriend, who came with her from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to the state park located in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. Her intention was for the road trip to bring her some joy after recently losing her son and her father. Little did the woman know that she would be returning home with a historic find.
The interviewer tells Keshia, “Your diamond is an absolute huge diamond.” The woman shows off the diamond, which weighs 3.09 Carats. It is considered one of the top 100 largest diamonds ever unearthed in Arkansas. She’s told, “That makes yours almost twenty times [the] average size.” The moment she found the diamond, tears welled up in everyone’s eyes. Considering the effort that goes into it, Keshia “more than deserves” such a find. The woman has named it the Za’Novia Liberty Diamond, after her grandchildren and in honor of our country’s birthday. The video of her discovery has over 253,000 views and over 25,000 likes.
Many Rejoice Over Arkansas Diamond
Several are taking to the comments of the TikTok video, celebrating her. One says, “I’ve never been happier for a stranger in my life!” Keshia’s happiness is infectious, as one commenter says, “I’m so happy for her, what a life-changing experience.” Another agrees, “I love this for her. I love everything about this.”
Another celebrates, “WOOOO YES GIRL THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!” One commenter has only nice things to say, “I love this video and how much support you all showed to her.” Others are feeling inspired to take a road trip to Arkansas, saying this “is my sign to go… I’ve been wanting to go for years.”
Per state park rules, anything found and washed on site belongs to the one who finds it. However, Keshia has yet to reveal if she plans to keep or sell the diamond.
