Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, USA, is the only diamond mine in the world where visitors are free to search for and keep the gems they find. The area was once a volcanic crater millions of years ago, where geological activity pushed diamonds to the surface. (Photo: Wikipedia)

Since 1972, the Arkansas government has purchased the area and turned it into a park open to the public. Visitors only need to pay an admission fee (from $5 to $8) and can take home anything they find. Thanks to this, the park attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, hoping to find diamonds. (Photo: National Park Trust)

Since becoming a park, more than 35,000 diamonds have been found by visitors, including the Uncle Sam (40.23 carats), the largest diamond ever dug in the United States. (Photo: Rock Seeker)

Most recently, a 7-year-old girl found a 2.95-carat brown diamond on her birthday. (Photo: Washington Times)
