It’s the fifth largest diamond found since the park was established in 1972.
Park interpreter Waymon Cox said Oskarson found the gem Wednesday in the southwest corner of the 37½ acre search field and named it.
Cox said the diamond is about three-quarters of an inch long and as big around as a standard No. 2 pencil.
