Best Answer

There are no diamond mines in West Virginia because the geological conditions under which they are transported from the depths of the earth (where they are created) up to the surface do not exist there. Where these specific geological conditions (called kimberlite pipes) exist, the diamonds can sometimes be found. Mohammed must come to the mountain. The mountain will not come to Mohammed.

Why are open pit mines negative?

There is nothing negative about open pit mines in and of themselves. However, open pit mines have three problems. The first problem comes with what the mine owners do with the overburden over the ore. The second problem comes with what the mine owners do with the tailings. And the third problem involves what to do with the pit after the ore is extracted. Different governments handle it in different ways. In the United States, The State of Pennsylvania has a law that requires the mining company to restore the land. Where there were open pit mines, there are now beautiful meadows. In West Virginia were there were open pit mines, there are denuded hill tops and acid filled streams.
