    Thanks to an ancient volcano (now turned crater), nearly 37 acres of Arkansas’ landscape are dotted with diamonds. And all of those diamonds are yours for the taking — as long as you work for it. Unbeknownst to many, Crater of Diamond State Park in Murfreesboro is the only place in the world where you can dig and keep any diamonds you find.

    All told, the crater has revealed more than 75,000 diamonds. Most common are white, followed by brown and yellow. New York jeweler Schenck & Van Haelen handled more than 14,000 Arkansas diamonds. They described the diamonds as so hard, they could only be cut using powdered Arkansas diamonds.
