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.
There is even one location in Arkansas, Crater of Diamonds, where anyone can become a diamond miner by paying a small fee. These are fun activities, many people enjoy them, and they support the small gemstone industry of the United States. A diversity of gemstones are produced from mines throughout the United States.
