Tana Clymer from Oklahoma City was touring Arkansas&#39; Crater of Diamonds State Park on Saturday with her family when she found the teardrop-shaped gem which is about the size of a jellybean. The park is an eroded ancient volcanic crater which is described as the only &quot;diamond-bearing site&quot; that is open to the public. It also has a &quot;finders keepers&quot; policy. Clymer spied the diamond in the dirt after two hours of sifting and searching through the park&#39;s volcanic soil. &quot;I thought it was a piece of paper or foil from a candy wrapper. Then, when I touched it, I thought it was a marble,&quot; she told park officials. The diamond&#39;s appraisal value wasn&#39;t immediately known, but it could be worth around USD 50,000 to USD 60,000, &#39;New York Daily News&#39; reported. Park officials also said it could be worth tens of thousands of dollars if it&#39;s legit. The sparkling souvenir that Clymer found is similar to a 4.21-carat rock discovered in 2006. That one was appraised for about USD 50,000 to USD 60,000, said Bill Henderson, assistant park superintendent. &quot;It appears to be of the same quality. This particular yellow canary will knock your eyes out. The colour is so brilliant,&quot; Henderson told the Daily News. He added that Clymer had tears in her eyes when they told her the diamond&#39;s potential value. She said she may turn the diamond into a ring or use it to help pay for college. Nearly 400 diamonds have been dug up at the 37-acre Arkansas state park this year.
