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.
Placer Diamonds in the Northwest Territories. Diamond Mining in the U.S.A. Space Diamonds / Carbonado. For whatever reason, very few miners are looking for diamonds in the U.S. That is a real shame, because the U.S.A. sits on an extremely old massive Craton. Cratons are the earth's diamond making factories, 150-250 miles down.
