Discovering Amazing Quartz Crystals in Mt. Ida, Arkansas (Fisher Mountain Mine)
Discovering Amazing Quartz Crystals in Mt. Ida, Arkansas (Fisher Mountain Mine)
We visit the Stanley Mine on Fisher Mountain in search of clear quartz crystals near Mt. Ida, Arkansas, known as the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World. Chase and I pay a visit to Judy’s Rock Shop before spending the day at the expansive quartz crystal collecting area on Fisher Mountain.
When you say quartz crystals, most collectors immediately think of the famous crystals found near Mt. Ida, Arkansas. Some of the largest crystals and clusters of crystals have been found in the clay-filled hydrothermal deposits of the Ouachita Mountain Range.
Each year, Mt. Ida hosts the World Championship Quartz Crystal Dig in October. Quartz crystal collectors from all over the world converge on the town to find the largest single crystal or the best overall cluster. For more information:

I had game wardens from Mnt Ida harass me and my family for 6 months at the request of my neighbor, 6 time felon, Dutch Forga. Dutch shot his neighbor’s horse, and then called the game wardens in on ME. These guys love junky informants, especially when the junky happens to be DEA agent Dan Forga’s brother. But they are all good friends while the rest of us just get trampled by our out of control government. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd9T-mq1ueI
Another great video!
How much does it cost to dig there, and how long do you get to dig?
