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.
Arkansas Diamonds. A handful of diamonds found at Crater of Diamonds State Park. Most of the diamonds found at the park are white, brown, and yellow in color. Many of them are crystals that have had their points slightly blunted during their hot trip from the mantle. Image courtesy of the Crater of Diamonds State Park.
