In 1918 the Arkansas diamond mine yielded stones of 17.85 and 11 carats. Diamonds lose about 60 percent of weight when cut, so the larger stone could yield a gem near eight carats worth about 4000 dollars if color and brilliancy are good. Only two larger US diamonds have been found, including a 99.75 carat rough from Manchester Virginia in 1855 and a 21.75 carat rough found in Wisconsin in 1886.
