Mr. P. L. McNorrill carried to the State Geological Survey in October, 1958, a diamond which had been given to him by his grandmother a number of years before. His grandmother (Eula Hatcher McNorrill) had reportedly found the stone in her backyard at the old Shell Bluff Post Office. The stone weighed 7.11 carats and exhibited a hexoctahedral form. It bore no percussion marks.
