Quartz Chrystal's found in Arkansas.

I like to hunt for gems around the midwest states. These are some of the Chrystal's we found a couple years ago in Arkansas. I ended up with 5-5 gallon buckets full. I have found alot of clusters that are mostly laying out in my rock garden in front of my house. I even got lucky and found what they call a Phantom Chrystal which has black running through it.(last picture)

Re: Quartz Chrystal's found in Arkansas.

Sure is fun to dig those, (nice specimens).
I live just a few hours from that area where they mine, (Mt. Ida), being one place, plus we find crystals from OK
that have 'green inclusions' in them.

Re: Quartz Chrystal's found in Arkansas.

did you dig at Coleman mines? I am always blown away at the quality of the crystals there. there are only 2 known places that have produced the clear rock crystal with this quality ARK, & a place in Russia. what fun!!

Mamabear, we found most of the big Chrystal's at Fiddlers Ridge. We got to go in right after they dynamited and opened up a new vein. If it had not started rain about noon that day and rain for two more days strait, we would have found a bunch more. We could not get back up the mountain before we had to head for home back in Iowa.
