We have been there with our daughter and grandkids, had a very good time, and found a few minuscule diamonds.

And the biscuits and gravy in town were excellent.

Good thing he wasn’t there with kids. Somebody would say the stone was a blood diamond, mined with child labor.

3 guesses where that rock is gonna end up 😏

The owners probably drop a big one in every so many years to keep the excitement going.

Sounds like a fun time.

Sorry, though, that diamond is probably an S12, with plenty of inclusions. Worth about $5K max after the cut, versus $50K.

A neat find nonetheless. It won’t make a good ring, but can be converted into a necklace or bracelet. A platinum or white gold setting will mask the flaws.

Ten bucks says that the state and/or the Feds will try to claim it under some obscure law from 95 years ago.

Why would he go on national news media with this?

Thats crazy. It’s a security and privacy issue

Yea, well 5 carats uncut and ungraded might be worth a few thousand if its a really workable stone or a few hundred depending on its flaws. Nothing to see here.
