Named the Dream Angel, Bankston found the gem near where the largest diamond unearthed in the United States was found in 1924, the 40.23-carat Uncle Sam diamond.
Park officials say the Dream Angel was the 851st diamond found at the park this year. Bankston has said she will decide whether to keep the gem or sell it after it is appraised, according to reports.

The size of a tooth? I’d say it’s more of a nose sized diamond.

Ok. I totally want to go there. I’d spend my entire vacation digging for diamonds.
