marshall rieff was here!find more diamonds!!!

The sentence "(and since Arkansas is the only state where diamonds have been naturally found)" is incorrect, since kimberlite, with diamonds has been found in at least two states (Montana and Wyoming). Additionally there is active diamond prospecting going in Idaho.

It is true that no oother US deposits have been shown to have enough diamond material to even try mining

I propose that the wording be changed to "(and since Arkansas is the only state where enough diamonds have been found to try mining)"

More reading has shown the more updates needed, there is/was a working diamond mine at Kelsey Lake along the Wyoming/Colorado border area Ralph

I'm going to change the above quote to reflect the mine in Wyoming

• A more encyclopedic phrase could be "not economically viable for mining". Also should the admission to the park be included? -- Riffsyphon1024 00:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page move
