Tennessee Grandfather Uncovers 2.29-Carat Yellow Diamond at Arkansas Park

A Tennessee grandfather visiting Crater of Diamonds State Park with his granddaughters found a 2.29-carat yellow diamond after about 30 minutes; park staff confirmed the gem, which he named the Sage Juniper Diamond, noting yellow stones are rare at the park. It was the third-largest diamond found there this year, with 351 diamonds registered in 2026; the park does not grade stones, and officials advised seeking a certified gemologist for appraisal.

Arctic Gem Emerges: 158-Carat Yellow Diamond Found at Diavik Amid Closure

Rio Tinto’s Diavik diamond mine in Canada's Northwest Territories recovered a 158.20-carat gem-quality yellow diamond—dated to about two billion years old—during its final production phase before closure in 2026. While not the largest yellow stone from Diavik (a 552-carat example was found in 2018), it ranks among Canada’s biggest yellow diamonds and has not yet had a public valuation. Cutting could reduce weight by more than half as craftsmen work to maximize color and size. The mine operates off-grid with a focus on traceable Canadian origin amid its closure run.
