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.
Diamonds can be found in levels below 16, but when it comes to limited mining, a 3-by-1 tunnel can be done on levels 10,11, and 12 for a maximum number of diamonds. Level 12 has the highest chance of spawning.
