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.
