Retired pastor from Diamond finds unusual diamond

Mack Evans said the 4.89-carat rock he discovered recently didn`t even look like a diamond, and he almost threw it away.

Murfreesboro: A retired minister from Diamond, Mo, may have been destined to find a diamond at the Crater of Diamonds State Park. But Mack Evans said the 4.89-carat rock he discovered recently didn`t even look like a diamond, and he almost threw it away. The grayish-white diamond, which is the size of a jellybean, is called a "Ghost Diamond."
Park interpreter Margi Jenks said most diamonds form as a single crystal, but occasionally an aggregate like the one Evans found will pop up. Bureau Report
