US Geological Survey geologists say undiscovered diamond mines may exist in the United States as demand rises with declining South African sources.

Diamonds reported scattered across states dating to 1942 in Illinois
Sporadic diamond finds traceable to a farmer’s plow in Illinois in 1942. Diamonds have been found intermittently in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, Idaho, Texas, Montana, Arizona and California. Geologists theorize the gems originated in matrix beds of the Appalachian and Rocky Mountain regions. Authorities caution such mother lodes may remain hidden, with a discovery akin to South Africa possible at any time.
