Aloha crystal family!!
Thanks so much for watching! This is my favorite video to make for you all so far!
This mine is completely private and does not allow visitors and it does not offer digs to the public at all. Thank you for your understanding and for being respectful to the owners!
Many crystalline blessings!
Thanks for sharing, that place is amazing. I just saved the video and put it on my wish list, but l'll take it off if it's a private mine. 👍☮️
You got in! 😏 There’s a way… Hit me up when you come to Missouri!
Yes it is private, everyone. 🙃
Love your videos, you all find some amazing stuff. Just curious and you prob get asked many many times but I have to ask. What's the chances of joining you sometime on one of your digs? I just would like to learn how and what to look for . Thx for sharing with your videos.
I hope to offer some group digs this year sometime. 🙏
The stuff that comes out of Arkansas constantly blows my mind. Thanks for sharing these insane finds!
Thanks so much!
Those clusters with the iron staining are just amazingly off the charts man✌😁
For real! It’s a miner’s dream. Glassback, high luster, rare formations 😍
That’s some of the nicest crystals that I have ever seen. Too bad it’s not open to the public. You get to dig at all the places that no one else can dig. The advantage of having your own youtube channel. I’m jealous. Keep it up 👍. Happy Trials 😎
Those are some of the prettiest crystals I've seen! Some of the colored ones are just unreal! Well done!
Thank you!!
Amazing earth! 💚🌎🌈💫
Thank you for showing us both ends of the collection! I love watching you find them! And I love you showing the cleaned up version of each. You are blessed to have so much beauty just waiting to be shown to the world.
Thank you, Patti! We love sharing with everyone 💚
So amazing, you guys pulled some beautiful stuff! Great video, rock on!💎⛏️
Thank you!
VA MULȚUMESC PENTRU VIDEOCLIPUL PREZENTAT, MINUNATA ESTE NATURA!!!!VA SALUT DIN ROMÂNIA!!!😊🎉😊🎉😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't know if you guys are still active on this channel. But this is really fascinating. I wish I could go did crystals out of the ground like that. Y'all did amazing!
I think some od them are really beautiful without the oxalic acid treatment.
What a wonderful video! Thanks for making it!
Quartz cluster dreams !!!
One of my favorite videos ever !!!
Thank you Mark!
I hope to go back there and make another super video for you all 💫
Love it man! It was so much fun to dig with you!
That was my most favorite dig of all time. You are the best! Grateful for our friendship brother 💚🍀💫
So Dana, I am going to go full second grader on you, but, can I be your friend??? Pretty please with sugar on top??? :)
Such excellent finds in your video, Dominik!!
¡EXCELENTE MUCHACHOS! Muy bellas, preciosas.
Gracias por compartirlas.
NICE! My only criticism is that you should have left a few of the clusters untreated with Oxalic. Some of them look really cool with just a water wash.
You bet! I did not clean all of them, just the ones that were not too iridescent or blotchy. But I agree, I usually like them dirty!
A Great channel !
Great dig and .. we share the joy !😄
Crazy hippies rule !😍
Thank you Michael!
We had a blast making this one for you all 🙏
More good content coming!
It would be sick to dig there. Absolutely stunning, looks like an epic day.
Hermosos critales llenos de buenas energías felicitaciones por su trabajo
That`s some awesome Crystal`s💎💎💎 Unfortunately, we have too much storm here in the far south of Norway to get out on a crystal hunt. But next weekend ...👍👍👍
Btw, Thank You for sharing mate🙏🙏🙏
Bonjour ! Very nice this Quartz, good Job ! Merci pour pour la vidéo
Merci beaucoup mon ami! 💚
I do know where this mine is but I’ve never tried to venture to the mine to dig for crystals. Maybe my journey back this summer I’ll have to check it out. Thank you for sharing this video y’all found some pretty amazing crystals…
Please do not trespass. Always ask for permission and know private property boundaries. Good luck!
New follower! A friend of mine met you on a dig a couple of weeks ago. These are so spectacular!
Welcome to the crystal family!
💚🍀🌈
Those were some insane clusters. Great video to.
Thanks Richard!
Just Fantastic 👏 great job guys !!!!
Thanks Diane! We appreciate it! 💚
Wow just beautiful!
Awesome video, killer, I love that piece at 4:38, a very cool specimen!
Isn’t it? I thought it was clay stuck to it at first 😂
@@CrystalsofArkansas happy little accidents as Bob Ross used to say eh.
Hey Dominik!
Die Farbe, und die Klarheit der verschiedenen Kristalle ist grossartig!
👍
Wünsche dir weiterhin viel Glück und gute Funde!
Grüße aus Deutschland
Elke
Danke! Diese kristalle waren wirklich einmalig. Liebe gruesse!
Wow that to bad that the mines not open to the public. I’ve been going to Arkansas for many years crystal mining and of course I’d love to go to this mine.
Hey that's are realy crazy specimens. Wooow. I enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
Glück Auf
Merlin-Kristalle

Parabens, lindas pedras...Show, Like garantido.
Nice video my friend!!
Thank you for sharing, full support from us to you!!
σε ευχαριστω αδερφε μου. Ελπίζω κάποια στιγμή να σκάψουμε μαζί!
@@CrystalsofArkansas You are an incredible friend of mine and thank you for writing to me in Greek, I really didn't expect it!! I would very much like to dig together but unfortunately we are separated by many kilometers and on top of the other I do not know English,everything I write is from google translation.... xaxaxaxaxa Thank you for the invitation,from me you have my absolute respect!!
Some look neater with the color left on them!
Amazing finds, as all ways
I wish I could come dig with you, I live in Arkansas, watch you and The Crystal Digger a while
That would be fun Kevin!
I hope to offer public digs later this year and you will be invited. 🙏
After watching years of digs and going on a few myself, these clusters, with those colors, are some of my all time favorites. Well done, you’re always fun to follow!
Thank you so much!
I agree, this was one of my all time favorite digs this far!
I appreciate your comment! 💚
OMG 😲 Amazing finds!!! So beautiful and unique 😍 💎 Love the vid and commentary, thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you my friend!
You would make a great addition to our mining team! 💚💛❤️
They looked so much better to me before they were cleaned up. Anyway, beautiful stuff! 👍
Right?! They do look nice dirty when they are fresh and wet but when they dry out, they loose some of the appeal.
I didn’t clean any of the ones with iridescence of course! I am a sucker for dirty Quartz anyways lol
I have always wanted to go crystal hunting
I've never seen this done! How incredibly beautiful they are! Do the crystals grow naturally or are they man made? I am like, brand new to this so got to ask the questions , lol! Cool video!
Hi Jennifer! Thanks so much for watching! Welcome to the crystal family!
These grow all natural just like that. We are just the ones to gratefully and carefully extract these amazing gems. Feel free to check out the other videos on my channel and my social media accounts and you can learn more about crystals in Arkansas!
Genial!!!¡¡¡¡¡ Enhorabuena!!!!
¡gracias! ☀️💛💫
🤩🤯 OK I want to come here when I go to Arkansas!
Probably not brother ✌️There is some epic mines that are offering public digs though
I just keep gasping with each crystal lol
What many people don't realize is how many thousands of perfect points from a few mm's up to several inches will be in all that clay. One day at the mine i went around to all the boulders with faces covered in a few inches of clay and then tons of points stuck to the super thin plate connected to the sandstone. I filled a 5gal bucket up ⅔ with clay from the faces of a bunch of the stones i mentioned. I ended up with a 2 gallon ziplock bag more than half full with thousands of water to glass quality points! 🎉
Awesome and very accurate.
Esse local é fantástico..
Vale $$$$$$$$ !!
💎⛏wow🤯
Hey man. We actually dug together a couple years ago at the opening of Fisher Mountain.
That was a wild day! Thanks for connecting again!
So beautiful!! Can’t wait to go to Mtn Ida and dig!!! I wish this one was open to the public.
Amazing 👍
Thank you Christina! 💚
Wow!!!!!
Love all of those clusters and points!! The iron coating is quite beautiful, and I'm glad you left some in their natural state. They look stunning all cleaned up, but at the same time, I liked them with the coating too... I was torn. I think I saw Justin B. have some that were very similar with that kind of coating a couple of months ago, and now I wondered if they were from the same location. Tell both Jennifer and Punky hello, and I look forward to your announcements about some public digs for later this year. :)
Hi Joe!
Thanks for the greetings, they are well appreciated!
I left all the iridescent pieces natural. The quality and luster on these specimen is out of this world, it really shows once they are cleaned.
What a very nice addiction to have😆
Yes, it’s a great hobby, great thing to collect, great overall lol
Wow❤️
I wanna go!!!!
I love you guys
I was born & raised in Searcy, Arkansas. Every time I hear someone say that, they went out here & didn't find a thing. I can't help but laugh at them 🤣😂🤣
I guess they were expecting to be guided to a "honey hole" to find a gigantic diamond or something! All they had to do was to look for an orange clay hill & dig😁
That would have been a great day. Many of them I feel looked more beautiful before the acid dip.
Yes they are beautiful au natural
Omg I so wanna go mining
Good
Ta xem càng thấy dam mê 😆📯🌟
Oooooooh so much pretty
Bom dia meus amigos sempre vejo suas aventuras top de mas
obrigado por assistir meu amigo! Saudações para você
wow
Good morning Crystal guy. I'm listening to Kryon videos and the most recent video put out on the Last Day Teaching the narrative sounds like you. I moved to the Crystal vortex area and I didn't even know that they were here. I experienced tragedy and knew I wanted to leave state and start fresh. I drove miles to get here. I'm straight devine feminine and I'm in home and house I'm not a driver. But I followed my spirit guides here. I'm looking for like minded humans to connect with as I don't know anyone here. It's just me and my higher self and spirit masters.
Glad you are here! I got to meet Lee Carrol a few years ago and witness him channel when they had the conference in this area. Awesome information and I find our tribe is gathering here for something magical to unfold!
@@CrystalsofArkansas LUCKKKIEEEE!!! I bet it was intergalactic fantastic being around the channelling. But yes I understand now why I'm here in this beautiful amazing environment. The source of energy and the nature here has been a good healing place for me. I'm so lucky and proud to be here for sure. For real take me with you next you go. Pretty please.
Craaazzy
With two extra a’s 😂😎
Good job from lao
Tem muito brilhante escava mais
Realy guys controled water jet is your best option to save all those beautiful specimens
😂
Msha wouldn’t like that
Hi! I'm a new subscriber, been looking into moving to AR, and I keep being drawn to Mt Ida, Now I know why!!💖...and where do you get those rad crystal design hoodies and t shirts?
You can find them on my Etsy. Link in description 😁
Muito legal
😎
Keep the color! It looks a lot better that way
Definitely left most natural.
Thanks for another beautiful show do you sell your crystals. ???? 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😁
Yes, shop link is in the video description 🙏
@@CrystalsofArkansas crystals for sale
Quite interesting. I didn't know we had iridescent quartz. Beautiful finds.
Yes
Several mines have iridescent Quartz. It’s also known as Solaris Quartz or natural earth aura. They are sometimes mislabeled as golden healer Quartz, which those are actually yellow even after an oxalic acid treatment.
Thanks so much for watching! Always enjoy reading your comments! 🙏
😮
I love them when they are still red and orange. Do people ever request them red?
breaks my heart when you take the iron off!!!
I did not clean any of the iridescent / red ones. ✌️
I prefer most crystals unclean myself, it actually shows the true mineral specimen. I think there may be more interest in them now but historically the market has been preferring them clean.
Can you share with us your process to clean them and get them so clear?
Absolutely, I will have content coming up on that.
❤
Boa noite este lugar tem muito cristal coisa mais linda amo cristal onde, e esse lugar ,quero ir achar cristal.
I actually thought i saw you not too long ago at mount ida
That’s where I live!
สวัสดีค่ะเพชรสวยสุดๆค่ะ
What kind of acid is used to clean
Absolutely gorgeous
💚💛❤️
Soooo Beautiful I would love to go to a place like that . We’re can I go ?
I have videos on a lot of the public mines. They are all worth it.
Happy rockhounding!
Ai deve ter muito ouro,lugar tem muitos cristais tem ouro.moro na cidade caldas novas go brasil
Nope.
tuyệt đẹp
Tinh thể thạch anh đẹp quá ❤
cảm ơn người bạn tốt bụng!
What do you do with crystals and do you pay the mine owner for your finds? excellent job guys
Thank you!
Yes there was a fee involved. Both Dana and I sell some crystals and also collect.
@@CrystalsofArkansas I love the raw colours of some of the clusters :) well done
Those are some of the nicest clusters I've seen. So let me ask you, what happens to them? Does the mine owner keep them or do you? Do you have an arrangement to sell them and each of you gets a percentage? I'm in absolute awe of those finds.
That is a lot of personal questions right there 😉
I will have some of these for sale tonight in my shop and Dana also sells crystals from this location!
Arrowhead Mine? Might be called something different now. I heard Matt sold it. I was there in 2007 and found amazing crystals. He let us work on the main wall after opening some pockets with the track hoe.
High cliffs mine.
Arrowhead is another location and is now in operation under new management and under the name Avatar Mine.
@CrystalsofArkansas I had heard that Matt had sold the mine. He was a character, but he could be really nice. He brought us to his home and property. Showed us all of his specimens out on the cleaning racks. He used the method of hosing off the clay and then letting it dry until it formed cracks (in the clay) along the faces of the crystal, allowing water to get between the two and eventually popping out all of the clay after multiple treatments. He also had a cut in half old home fuel oil tank set up with a fire ring underneath that he would use to treat large batches with oxalic acid. He had this amazing blue phantom cluster the size of 2.5x2.5x3 foot boulder. Was amazing. He let us into his private specimen closet inside his main display room and gave me a cool piece of wavelite with a big botryoidal cluster. Was a great trip.
Hey guys, do you know if they’re open all year around seven days a week at this man I appreciate your answer thanks I subscribed and locked your video
This mine is not open to the public at all. Others are open usually 5 days a week. Refer to each mine for specific info
Envia um aqui pra mim ...no Brasil 😻🙏🇧🇷
As beautiful as they are after being acid washed, and perfectly clear, I think I like them better with the coating of manganese.
They do look nice dirty when they are fresh and wet but when they dry out, they loose some of the appeal.
I didn’t clean any of the ones with iridescence of course! I am a sucker for dirty Quartz anyways lol
Queria cristal pra mim 😔....muito lindos
I want to do something fun with my son this summer and this would be the right thing how much it cost to hunt and who do I need to talk to about it
This mine is not open to the public but I have lots of videos on places that are open. You just show up at the mine or you can give them a call. I will have all this information on my website. It will be up in about a week.
Bom dia! Quanto vale uma drusa dessa? Achei espetacular!!!
obrigada! o valor é determinado por muitos fatores, como condição, clareza, raridade e tamanho. obrigado por assistir meu amiga!
Man i just wanna bring a mini pressure washer to you. Im so impatient
