There are a limited number of commercially viable [[diamond]] [[mining|mines]] currently operating in the world. Diamonds are also mined [[alluvium|alluvially]] over disperse areas, where diamonds have been [[erosion|eroded]] out of the ground and deposited by water or weather action. There is also at least one example of a non-commercial diamond mine ([[Crater of Diamonds State Park]]).
