Crater of Diamonds State Park
Crater of Diamonds State Park, Public diamond mine in Murfreesboro, Arkansas.
This 37-acre field contains an eroded volcanic crater surface where visitors search through soil to discover genuine diamonds and other minerals.
The site became Arkansas State Park in 1972, following decades of private ownership that began when farmer John Huddleston found the first diamonds in 1906.
Families and mineral enthusiasts gather at this location throughout the year to participate in the traditional activity of diamond prospecting.
Visitors can access the diamond field daily from 8 AM to 5 PM, with admission fees of 15 dollars for adults and 7 dollars for children.
The Uncle Sam diamond, weighing 40.23 carats, stands as the largest diamond ever discovered in the United States and was found at this location.
