  • Hey guys! On Saturday, August 10th I went to Pine Ridge Crystals which is located in Oden, AR. This was my third time digging at this location...it's always a lot of fun! I dug in a spot that had quite a few smoky quartz crystals, which I was thrilled to find! They're pretty rare here in Arkansas.
    In this video, I try to show a little bit of my process for digging the crystals at this location. Also, for part of the video I got to dig next to Roger, who, like myself, is a member of the Northwest Arkansas Gem and Mineral Society.
    Hope you enjoy, and God bless!!

    How long do you stay at a spot before moving on?
    Also, if you use iron out does it affect the smoky?
    Thanks!

      Thanks for the questions! I wound up staying at the same general area for about the whole day of digging. I would go 3-4 feet left/right, but would stay in that general area to get those smokies. At one point I tried two other spots for about 15 minutes each, but none of those areas were producing any crystals, so I went back to that area I was getting the smokies. Also, I used Iron out on about half of the smokies, and there was no change in their coloring at all, which tells me it wasn't an outside coating, but in the crystals themselves. Everything else was washed with water. 👍
