Man mining for engagement ring material finds 2.2 carat diamond during cross-country quest TODAY 1 hr ago Gina Vivinetto and Francesca Gariano
A Washington man made the discovery of a lifetime when he found a two-carat diamond at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas.
Since Christian Liden was in the eighth grade, he knew that he wanted to hunt for his own gemstones and do something different when it came to his future proposal. A self-proclaimed “rock hound,” Liden’s middle school plans came to fruition when it came time to propose to his now-fiancée.
Liden, 26, has been collecting gold throughout the years panning throughout his home state of Washington during his hikes, saving up enough to form a band. He struggled to find a spot in the United States where he could hunt for diamonds and be able to keep the gems he retrieved until he was given one life-changing tip by a colleague.

Liden has spent years searching for the perfect components for his fiance s engagement ring, and even longer dreaming about creating the ring himself.
