Bidding a temporary farewell to the Big Apple boded well for future bride Micherre Fox, 31, who stumbled upon a 2.30-carat white diamond — worth around $27,000 — during a three-week hunt at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.

Talk about a diamond in the rough. It's a gem of a find for New Yorker who went in search of a diamond for her future engagement ring. West Village resident Micherre Fox, 31, went to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas for three weeks specifically to dig for diamonds.

The smooth, rounded, metallic diamond is about the size of a human canine tooth. This year, it's the third-largest diamond found so far.
