Diamonds in Arkansas

Hundreds of diamonds, a large
proportion of them of good size
and the first water. are being
recovered from the blue-clay de-
posits which were discovered in
Pike County. Arkansas. only a
few years ago. Although the
existence of diamond-bearing
formations in this vicinity has
been known by geologists. and
recently by those in immediate
proximity to the fields, il has
never become widely known
that the deposits are so large as
to justify working the fields
on a commercial basis. says the
November Popular Mechanics
Magazine in an illustrated ar
ticle.
A typical diamond-bearing
formation of several acres area
exists where the first stones
were picked up. A second field,
showing immense bodies of
blue clay, yet unsurveyed. has
been found a few miles beyond
the first, and il is considered
possible that still others may be
uncovered in the district. This
land is now carefully fenced and
constantly guarded. Since be-
ginning its operations. one COM
pany has removed l,400 stones
having an aggregate weight of
$50 carats. The exact yield from
the other mines is not known.
since the results of their opera
tions have been kept secret. An
approximate estimate, however.
places the total recovery at 3. 900
diamonds of unknown weight.
The largest stone so far discov-
cred and officially reported
weighed eight and one-half
carats. Usually the rough
diamonds found have been dis
torted octahedrons, resembling
small pieces of alum with a fiery
eye in the center which glows
and flashes when presented to
light. While the sizes are not
unusual. some of them even
small. the quality is asserted to
be exceptional, many of the
stones being as nearly hawless
as are ordinarily found.
