www.craterofdiamondsstatepark.comLooking for a fun vacation spot? A terrific place to visit would be the Crater of Diamonds State Park. Arkansas, The Natural State, is blessed with an abundance of geological wonders. The Crater of Diamonds State Park, the only diamond-producing site in the world open to the public, stands out as a unique geological "gem" for you to explore and enjoy. Here, you are invited to prospect in the park's diamond search area, a 37-acre plowed field that is the eroded surface of an ancient volcanic pipe that 95 million years ago, brought to the surface the diamonds and some of the semi-precious stones lucky visitors find here today.

diamondfacts.orgIn July 2000, the World Federation of Diamond Bourses and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association met in Antwerp to discuss, among other things, the concern over human rights violations committed in some diamond producing countries. During this meeting a resolution was passed to create the World Diamond Council (WDC). The resolution called for the WDC to develop and implement a tracking system for the export and import of rough diamonds to prevent diamonds being exploited for illegal purposes. As a result of the commitment and resolve of WDC leaders and members, significant strides have been made toward resolving and reconciling these issues. The development and implementation of the Kimberley Process, for example, has reduced the flow of conflict diamonds in the marketplace from approximately 4% to significantly less than 1%. While the number of conflict diamonds has been reduced, and this is an improvement, it is still not enough. The diamond industry will continue its efforts until conflict diamonds are eradicated completely.
