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 answer might surprise you. Arkansasâs Crater of Diamonds State Park is the only diamond-producing site in the world where the public can search for diamonds. And the policy here is finders, keepers, meaning the diamonds you find are yours to keep. To hunt for diamonds you will search atop a 37 1/2-acre plowed field, the eroded surface of an ancient, gem-bearing volcanic crater.
