Diamonds mined in Louisiana?

There are no natural diamond mines in Louisiana. While some enthusiasts may search for diamonds in the state's rivers and streams, these are typically small, low-quality diamonds that are not economically viable to mine. The majority of diamonds on the market come from countries like Russia, Botswana, Canada, and Australia.

Where are the diamonds found?

The mineral diamond is found on earth where volcanic pipes have blasted it to the surface from where it is formed, deep within the earth's mantel. Diamonds have been found in India, Africa -- several countries -- Brazil, Canada, Australia and even in the United States. Geologists find 'trace minerals', including kimberlite, that may indicate -- about one in 200 times -- that diamonds are included in the volcanic situation. When water flows over the top of a diamond-producing volcanic pipe and tumbles diamond stones along, diamonds can be found in riverbeds, or at the mouths of rivers as they empty into salt water. When a productive volcanic pipe is located, the land owner may choose to mine the area for diamonds.
