Crater of Diamonds State Park
Arkansas, Pike·Rockhounding
Every diamond, amethyst and garnet you find at Crater of Diamonds is yours to keep for a $15 admission and no permit. The catch is on the way out: five gallons of processed concentrate per person per day, and not one shovelful of raw dirt.
- Admission only — $15 for adults over 12, $7 for children 6–12, free under 6. No rockhounding permit, mineral license or state prospecting registration exists for this site.
- Any rock, mineral or gem found in the search area is yours to keep, diamonds included, with no cap on value or count.
