Bobby Winters found this vibrant, red, translucent garnet and these two, black, opaque chromium spinel in some Unsearched Worthington Diamond Ore when he looked through it. These are classic, diamond-indicator minerals. Great finds, Bobby, and thank you for sharing your good news and excellent photos with all of us.

Byron Johns of Gower, Missouri, found this in some Unsearched Worthington Diamond Mine ore. He took it to a jeweler who tested and weighed it. He said it is a gem-quality garnet that weighs one carat and is flawless.
Congratulations on your remarkable find, Byron, and thank you for sharing your good news and excellent photos with all of us.

The Worthington Diamond Mine is located just 1/2 mile from Southwest Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park. We have found all three of the classic, diamond indicator minerals--red pyrope garnet, green chromium diopside, and black chromium spinel--and diamonds as well. The diamond I show here weighs 21 points. Since there are 100 decimal points of weight per carat, this one weighs just over 1/5 carat and is a white diamond. Please watch this video:

Glenn W. Worthington has had numerous, magazine articles published in the past. Some of those publications include Gold Prospector's Magazine, Rock & Gem, Western & Eastern Treasures, and The Mother Earth News Magazine. He was even featured on the front cover of Gold Prospector's Gem issue.
He recently compiled eleven of his published articles in a book and now has them available through Amazon as a Kindle ebook, or you may order a printed copy. Ten of the eleven articles are about finding diamonds in Arkansas. The last one tells how he converted a 50-year-old silo into a five-story, round house and lived there for years.

THE WORTHINGTON DIAMOND MINE IN SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS, USA (Part 1 of 14)
There are eight, known, volcanic, diamond-bearing pipes in the state of Arkansas. All of them are located within three miles of each other in Pike County, which is in the Southwestern corner of the state. The most famous of these igneous vents is The Crater of Diamonds which became a state park since 1972. (One map shows it as "Prairie Creek.") Visitors are allowed to search for naturally occurring diamonds and keep the ones they find. This unique, state park has hosted between 100,000 and 200,000 visitors each year since 2007.
The diamond-bearing pipe that is closest to The Crater of Diamonds State Park is called “Twin K***s One.” It is named after two, nearby hills, and is less than one-half mile from the public park.

The Worthington Diamond Mine is a ten-acre plot that has one acre of this diamond-bearing, volcanic ore on that property. (One acre is a approximately the size of a football field.) It appears on this map below as the green square with the blue, Twin K***s One property bordering three sides. This diamond deposit has been core drilled and is known to extend over 200 feet deep. Therefore, it extends as deep as a 20-story building is high.
