Quartz Crystals on Fisher Mountain (Mt. Ida, Arkansas)
On this episode of Rockhounding USA, Chase and I travel to Mt. Ida, known as "The Quartz Crystal Capital of the World." We visit Judy's Crystals N Things before heading up Fisher Mountain to the Stanley Mine.We find hundreds of "float" crystals and track down the quartz veins that criss-cross the Ouachita Mountain range.
Here is a small collection of photos of our treasures:

Cindy--thanks for your kind comment. There are so many wonderful locations to dig for crystals in Mt. Ida. We are hoping to add a few more Rockhounding USA Youtube videos in the spring. In the past I have been to Sweet Surrender Mine and I found an amazing cluster of double-terminated quartz crystals, so we will probably re-visit there as soon as possible. Be sure to subscribe to the channel and stay tuned for more video field trips.
This is the nice post which I was waiting for such an article and I have gained some useful information.
