When British Sailors from the 1800's first found the crater on the Southeast coast of Oahu, they named it Diamond Head because of the glimmer that came from the calcite crystals in the lava rock. To their dismay, they quickly learned that there were no diamond embedded in the soil. Diamond Head is a crater that has been extinct for over 150,000 years and is the most famous one of its kind. Visitors can enjoy the beauty that surrounds it from observation decks.
