Genuine DIamonds Found In Arkansas the Mining Years (1906 - 1972)

By Glenn Worthington

From the geological forces that formed diamonds in ancient volcanic pipes to the riveting tales of early prospectors, including the illiterate hog farmer who made the first major diamond discovery, this book chronicles over six decades of exploration, mining booms, political intrigue, and scientific breakthroughs. Rich with historical photos, firsthand accounts, and fascinating science, Worthington paints a vivid picture of a diamond rush that rivaled the gold frenzy of the Old West.

If you're a rockhound, historian, adventurer, or armchair explorer, this meticulously researched book offers a unique look at one of America's most remarkable natural wonders-Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds. Step into a world of mystery, greed, and glittering gems where fact is truly more fascinating than fiction.
