My Arkansas quartz crystal finds :)

[Gilda]

We just returned from a vacation to NM. On our journey, we took the route thru Arkansas so I could dig for the famous Arkansas quartz crystals. I didn't find huge specimens but am a happy camper ! This is a fraction of what I found !

Now comes washing the mud off and then the oxalic acid bath which will hopefully make them all shiny !! Please excuse the mud and dirt ...our laundry came first :wink: I also got to dig in NM and found lots of neat rocks and some geodes.

That's cool! I I wish I could just dig and find things like that here!

Very cool, Gilda!

Neat! I used to get kind of upset at my ex for bringing me home interesting examples of 'leaverite' from his travels in NM and Utah. My archaeology profs would not have been amused.
