How much is the Strawn-Wagner Diamond worth?

This diamond, ranked as 'perfect' by the American Gem Society -- the only diamond ranked thus found to date in the Arkansas park -- was found by Shirley Strawn in 1990. Because she found it in the State Park where people dig for diamonds under the 'finders-keeps' rule, she owned the 3.03 carat stone.

After keeping the stone for seven years, she sent it to be cut. In it's current size, 1.09 carats, it is on display at the Crater of Diamonds State Park where it was found, having been purchased by the State of Arkansas.

It's worth is not stated. You can read more about this diamond and others found in the park, below.

(You can find a similar diamond -- 1.14 carats, D colour, Flawless, Ideal Cut -- though not ranked as high as the Strawn-Wagner, on Blue Nile today and pay just over US$36,000.)
