The Kahn Canary

The Kahn Canary is very rare in comparison to other diamonds. Because of its flawless condition and pleasing natural triangular pillow shape, the Kahn Canary has remained uncut. Its intense yellow color and brilliance impress all those who see it. Because of its natural, uncut form, the Kahn Canary is a perfect example to represent Arkansas, nicknamed "The Natural State." The diamond is presently mounted in a ring custom-designed for Mrs. Clinton for the 1993 Inaugural.

The diamond was discovered by George Stepp of Carthage, Arkansas. He later sold the stone to Kahn. Crater of Diamonds State Park is the world's only publicly-owned diamond site where visitors may search for diamonds and other gems and keep what they find, regardless of the value of the stone. The park's 36 1/2 acre search area is the eroded surface of an ancient gem-bearing volcanic pipe. Besides diamonds, other precious and semi-precious stones found within the volcanic matrix include amethyst, garnet, jasper, agate and quartz.
