We visit the Sweet Surrender Quartz Crystal Mine, just north of Mt. Ida, Arkansas, known as the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World. Chase and I spend the day searching through the layers of shale, surface collecting float crystals and extracting quartz from pockets littering the mine.
This mine is famous for its Double-Terminated Quartz Crystals, and for the iron staining that coats much of the quartz from this formation.
Here is a Google Maps Locator for the mine:
