Steve, Robin and James. Nov. 2017

The three of us took a couple day road trip to Arkansas to visit The Crater of Diamonds then to Mount Ida for some crystal hunting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first stop on our diamond\/crystal road trip was actually the Trinity river in Texas where we picked up about 25 pounds of petrified wood. These pieces averaged about 4 inches long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To top off that stop I found a large piece of fossilized soft-shell turtle shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was off the The Crater of Diamonds to try our luck. It turns out that our luck was not that great. Despite digging, sifting and washing a bunch of dirt no diamonds were found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day we headed to Mount Ida to do some quartz crystal hunting. Our luck was much better at this. We chose Crystal Seen<\/a> as the place to do our digging. The mine was primitive and rough. Just the way we like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
