Hi, I am writing an article for Only Natural Diamonds on Crater of Diamonds State Park and I need some questions answered. Please send responses over email with your expert credentials and a short bio or link to a bio and headshot. You don't have to answer all the questions. Thank you! What makes Crater of Diamonds State Park unique in the world of diamond sourcing? How do diamonds actually form beneath the Earth—and how did they end up in Arkansas? Why are diamonds still being found here today? What conditions make a successful diamond find more likely? How common is it for visitors to find diamonds of significant size? What do most people misunderstand about what diamonds look like in the rough? Are there certain times of year when diamonds are easier to find? What has been the most surprising discovery in recent years?
