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.
Both women and men know the value of a diamond and spend millions of dollars a year buying diamonds and diamond jewelry for loved ones. It is just as incredible that there have been only two active diamond mines in our storied history and only one of them is currently active. The Crater of Diamonds is a dig for a fee diamond mine in Arkansas and is the only active diamond mine in the US.
