Two kids at a state park in Arkansas found a 2.5 carat diamond.
"They thought it was a piece of mica. When they learned it was a diamond, there were many 'woo hoos' and high-fives exchanged," said Rachel Engrecht of the Crater of Diamonds State park.
She said the children found the 2.50 carat diamond during the weekend in the park, where visitors are encouraged to prospect for the precious stones.
Another park official, Bill Henderson told AFP on Monday the gem could be worth several thousands of dollars.
Probably more than that, depending on the quality of it.
