Looks like all that rain we've been having is good for something!

Nice! I'd send it to CBI for cutting... (do they take outside rough like that??)

 

[Dee*Jay]

I wonder what the color would look like cut? I love diamonds in the brown family and I bet this would be lovely and interesting!

I’m itching to go but can’t with my knee

The family that found it is from my area. It's been all over the local news. Of course, I'm jealous!

I guess we should all wait for a good rain and head to Arkansas!

Larry, who I posted about in one of my posts (about the crater) with his pic is there now and is on a roll. He has found at least 2... I think more.

Find his 41 point white in this pile.

I went there as a kid, it was really fun. But I want to go again! My dh thinks its funny, like I think I'm really going to find a diamond, but it is fun to dig in the dirt...and dream. I think this is the 2nd or 3rd find I've heard of in recent months. Might be time to get back there

Oh my. I delude myself that of course I can pick out the diamonds from the rough, but I think it would be easy to be quickly fatigued doing this kind of work!

It’s very hard work, @partgypsy I start taking alleve on the drive up lol

There is a shiny pretty in the lower half of photo, close to center. It doesn't look brown but whitish though

That isn’t the brown one. It’s Larry’s 41 point white he found yesterday!!

Good eye!

Found it! I’d love to go back there some time! I was there two years ago, but only for a very short time and it was HOT!

@Diamond_Hawk my husband is always talking about us going.

Can you guys imagine a PS GTG digging for diamonds there? By sheer numbers we should be able to come up with SOMETHING.

Usually when I go, I give a heads up to see if anyone wants to meet me there.

Who would get to keep the diamond though lol
