Arkansas Quartz Vacation
Since we only had a short time, we hiked Cedar Falls in Petit Jean State park and then went on a quest for quartz.

They didn't realize how close that camera can zoom in.

Turtle Rocks in Petit Jean State Park.

Lake Ouachita

Campsite at Denby Point on Lake Ouachita.

Fiddler's Ridge Mine.
We were not allowed in the pit but there was plenty to find in the side hills.

Ron Coleman's Mine.
Again, we weren't allowed in the pit but quartz
abounded on the side as in the picture below.

Lake Ouachita State Park this time is the place closest to the
Ron Coleman mine. The Three Sisters Springs was nearby.
Now for our cache.
The quartz is only rinsed off, it will look nicer when it is cleaned properly.
More pictures of our quartz finds (only if you are a glutton for punishment).
