Teenager finds 7.44 carat diamond in Arkansas state park

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.

The largest diamond ever discovered in the United States, the 40.23 carat "Uncle Sam," was unearthed on the land in 1924.

Our hair, our skin, our bodies. We’ve always been classy enough.” Her skin is poreless, with high cheekbones and a chiseled jaw — features you’d see in a high-fashion magazine. Her frame is another matter. Curves on black women are almost never praised in mainstream magazines like Vogue or Elle . Gal...

Sir Patrick Stewart Reveals That He Uses Medical Marijuana

Sir Patrick Stewart has revealed that he blazes it 24/7/365. Well, actually he just uses an ointment, a spray and an edible form of marijuana to treat his arthritis, but it's more fun to imagine him packing a Starship Enterprise-shaped bong while listening to Afroman, isn't it? He's revealed his habits as he announced his support of an Oxford University research initiative into the benefits of medicinal cannabis. In a statement obtained by the Mail, he said: "Two years ago, in Los Angeles, I was examined by a doctor and given a note which gave me legal permission to purchase, from a registered outlet, cannabis-based products, which I was advised might help the ortho-arthritis in both my hands. "This, it would seem, is a genetically-based condition. My mother had badly distorted and painful hands. "I purchased an ointment, spray and edibles. The ointment, while providing some relief from the discomfort, was too greasy to use during daytime and so I ...
