After watching your videos for the last couple of years my biggest takeaway from all of it is that I am immensely envious of your lifestyle. Seems like you genuinely love what you do and are making a living from it. I can only hope to one day emulate it, find my own crystals figuratively speaking.
@TheCrystalCollector Жыл бұрын
I’m sure you’ll be able to go out and find some crystals in your future! Yes, I love my lifestyle, but it is different than most. What’s not being shown is the days and hours of traveling and driving in looking and being alone all the time and not doing stuff like normal people, but it’s the life I chose, and I am grateful.

As an Arkansan I cannot praise Crystal Vista enough! It is a good hike up the mountain, however, it is so amazing once you get up there! I will say that people should make sure to walk around once they do get up there because the little "lake" (Id call it a pond lol) has some neat stuff around it.

The Jeffrey Stone quarry in North Little Rock, Arkansas, was the source of fantastic solution quartz clusters, but long before they realized how valuable these would be, they just quarried it for road and parking lot material. You could walk through the Burns Park amusement park in the '60's and pick up thousands of small, water-clear points.
