Finding Fabulous Quartz Crystals in Mt. Ida, Arkansas (Sweet Surrender Quartz Crystal Mine)

We visit the Sweet Surrender Quartz Crystal Mine, just north of Mt. Ida, Arkansas, known as the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World. Chase and I spend the day searching through the layers of shale, surface collecting float crystals and extracting quartz from pockets littering the mine.

This mine is famous for its Double-Terminated Quartz Crystals, and for the iron staining that coats much of the quartz from this formation.

Here is a Google Maps Locator for the mine:
