So named "Punch Jones Diamond" after the boy who found it. Weight 34.48 and bluish white in color.
An interesting history and the rest on the story is found HERE
Sign probably needs to be updated as the story says it was sold.
Marker in Peterstown West Virginia near the sight the diamond turned up.

Annette checking it out. She is one who enjoys hikes especially along lakes and streams and I want to take one next.
Peterstown Hotel
I can't find any history on it.
Will keep trying.

The stonewall was a delight, beautiful.
Now that's a huge diamond, Betsy. The town looks interesting. I love stone walls and always photograph them too. The Peterstown hotel looks quite old. ♥
Dearest Betsy,
Wow, that is an incredible find for a diamond that size.
Love the massive stone fence. That took a lot of collecting and carrying, putting them together.
Your state is so beautiful!
Hugs,
Mariette
