Natural, uncut diamonds from Arkansas all have a similar, "family" appearance. Yet, like snowflakes, each one is a uniquely shaped crystal. What shape does this Crater diamond remind you of?

I have made post about opportunities to buy bags of Crater gravel from AHW Gems And Minerals Sales and Auctions. Well, Krista Burke did buy a bag and found this 10-point diamond from the Crater. (There are 100 points of weight per carat.)
Congratulations, Krista, and thank you for these photos you took and for sharing your good news with all of us.

I was trying to tell you all that buying a bag of gravel for AHW Gems was a great way to find a genuine diamond from the Crater. Karie Rosenthal bought a bag and found this 17-point, white, Crater diamond in it.
Congratulations, Karie, and thank you for sharing your photo and good news with all of us.

I have made post about opportunities to buy bags of Crater gravel from AHW Gems And Minerals Sales and Auctions. Well, Krista Burke did and found this lovely, 9-point diamond from the Crater originally discovered by famous diamond finder David Anderson. This is a pretty, little diamond. (There are 100 points of weight per carat.) Krista also reports, "I got some really pretty, opal roughs too!!!"
Congratulations, Krista, and thank you for these photos you took and for sharing your good news with all of us.
