MURFREESBORO, Ark. -- A Pittsburgh woman has unearthed a 3.17-carat canary yellow diamond at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.

Pittsburgh resident Patti Kubli said she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the sparkling, pear-shaped diamond Wednesday morning.

Kubli said she's naming her find, "Dori," after her mother.

Park interpreter Margi Jenks said it is the largest diamond found at the park this year.

It was Kubli and her sister's first time in Arkansas and at the park. She only spent 30 minutes digging before she found the diamond.

Crater of Diamonds State Park is located in southwest Arkansas and is the only diamond mine in North America where the public can search for diamonds and other gems and keep them.

The largest diamond ever found in the state park was 16 carats.

Holy sh!t, a canary one...

I wonder how much the estimated value of that diamond is.

It has a one carbon inside. A flaw.

3 carats is about 9,000 dollars.

Not necc at all. It would be hard to estimate value without an appraisal.
