A diamond found in Arkansas Park was appraised at $21,000 and one of the most valuable diamonds discovered in the park the past 3 years. Last March, Melissa and Kenny Oliver uncovered a diamond weighing about 2.44 carats in Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. The couple, like many others, went to the state park to look for diamonds.

Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas is the only park in the world that allows the public to look for diamonds. Oliver got lucky and discovered a 2.44 carat diamond, named the "Silver Moon". The diamond was cut down to a 1.067 carat diamond, with a clarity of VVS2 and F color. The jeweler who appraised the diamond for them was Bill Underwood from Underwood Jewelry in Arkansas.

Well to the couple, they are very lucky and I hope they set that beautiful diamond into a nice ring or pendant.
