The only active diamond mine in the country is the Crater of Diamonds Mine near Murfreesboro, Pike County, Arkansas. There, recreational prospectors have been finding up to a few hundred carats of diamonds per year since the early 1970s. Most of the stones are white, yellow, or brown in color, but a wide range of diamond colors has been found at the mine. See photo at the top of this page.
The Argyle mine, located in the Kimberley region in the far northeast area of Western Australia, is the world's largest single producer of diamonds. The mine lies some 550km southwest of Darwin by air. The region is remote, rugged and hot, with temperatures of more than 40Â°C during the wet season from October to March.he Argyle mine, located in the Kimberley region in the far northeast area of Western Australia, is the world's largest single producer of diamonds.
