Diamond discovery at Crater of Diamonds State Park

Overview

Jack Pearadin, a Navy reservist who has searched Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas since 2013, discovered a 6.03-carat yellow diamond. The discovery, which Pearadin named the ‘American Dream’, was captured during a TikTok livestream.

Valuations of the stone vary among experts. While some collectors suggest the diamond could be worth as much as $1 million, professional appraisers have provided more conservative estimates, with one expert suggesting a high-quality yellow diamond of this size could be valued at approximately $250,000.

Crater of Diamonds State Park is a former open-pit mine that has allowed the public to keep found gemstones since 1972. The park has yielded over 37,000 diamonds to date.
