Kollur Mine was a series of gravel-clay pits on the south bank of the Krishna River in the state of Andhra Pradesh.[1] It is thought to have produced many large diamonds, known as Golconda diamonds, several of which are or have been a part of crown jewels.
The mine was established in the 16th century and operated until the 19th century.
