, park staff will always hear the question, "What is it worth?" The park staff is trained to identify rough diamonds, but not to appraise a rough diamond's worth.
A diamond's appraisal, either in the stone's rough form, or later after it has been cut and polished, must be done elsewhere. The beautiful white, 2.44-carat Silver Moon diamond found last year on March 20, the Sunday of the weekend of the full moon supermoon event, by Melissa and Kenny Oliver of Rosston, Arkansas, was recently cut to a 1.06-carat pear-shaped diamond appraised at $21,639.
