US EditionTampa Couple Brings Home a 3.36-Carat Diamond From Crater of Diamonds State Park
PIKE COUNTY, ARKANSAS, JUL 2 – A Tampa couple found a 3.36-carat white diamond at a public Arkansas park with a finders-keepers policy, potentially worth $5,000 to $30,000 depending on quality, experts say.
- On July 1, Scott and Jennifer Freitas, visiting from New Port Richey, Florida, uncovered a 3.36-carat white diamond while searching at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.
- The couple named their discovery the Dash Diamond in honor of their pet dog, and it stands as the second-largest diamond uncovered at the park this year among 332 registered finds.
- Crater of Diamonds State Park allows visitors to keep discovered diamonds and is one of the few sites worldwide where the public can search diamonds in volcanic origin soils.
- Jeweler Rich Goldberg estimated the diamond could fetch $5,000-$10,000 in its rough state but might reach $20,000-$30,000 or more if clarity is very slightly included or better.
- This discovery highlights the potential value of public diamond hunting and may inspire more visitors to prospect at the unique Arkansas park.
