3FV-R51Diamond C
Dimensions: 13 mm x 3 mm x 2 mm
This specimen is an unsual white diamond "splinter" that resembles a sliver of the moon and has amazing silky lustre. It really has a nice aesthetic presence. Weighing in at 1.24 cts, the stone looks much larger than the carat weight would suggest given its shape and so visually you get a lot for your money. The stone is transparent, and displays very well despite some slight inclusions. This specimen was found this past spring by Claud Dill -- a well-known and long-time miner at the Crater. It also comes in a display box with a registration card and one of the new AR quarters showing a diamond as one of the state's symbols. 1.24 cts : 13 x 3 x 2 mm

Found only this past August, it comes in a display box with a registration card and one of the new AR quarters showing a diamond as one of the state's symbols. 1.28 cts : 5 x 4 x 3 mm
