MINERAL EXPLORERS | S1 | Ep5 | ARKANSAS

One of the most abundant minerals on Earth, quartz is anything but ordinary and some of the most extraordinary quartz comes from Arkansas. Veteran mineral dealer Thomas Nagin explores its metaphysical side and a long-closed local curiosity, The Crystal Cave. We meet a cast of characters at the World Championship Quartz Crystal Dig and watch as a newly discovered pocket of quartz is extracted at the renowned Coleman Mine.

    So when I see these videos of the miners pulling perfect crystals out of the muck . How do they form without getting dirt let alone a single speck of anything being inside 🤔

    Within my Tsalagi = Cherokee tribe the healers of my tribe would take clear quarts crystals with no imperfections in it and would place it on the forehead of a tribe member and if it goes from being clear to a cloudy look then it ment that they had a fever. So quartz crystals were used as the first thermometers.

    Yay! Quartz is my favorite mineral! I have wanted to get back to Mt. Ida for the past two years, but because of COVID, I have had to pass. I have been there 8 times and I so want to get back there to dig for crystals. I hope I can meet you some day at the crystal festival! It is so much fun to share the joy of quartz with others.

    I watch your videos and think,, I want to go all those exotic places to search for minerals, but realize that those trips may be a little difficult to achieve, but now I’m looking forward to going to Arkansas. I can do this one. Maybe even go to the competition. Thanks for the videos

  30. @lindasaav7364 on March 13, 2024 at 9:27 am

    Life goal: go to the US and dig for crystals! I just love the fact that so many mines in the US are open for the public, I would spend my whole vacation digging for crystals if I could!

  31. @dimtillon7529 on March 13, 2024 at 9:28 am

    would be a great show if you could construe more than a single thought simple sentence, holy fuck it feels like im on xans watching this. Great show though but boy do I pity americans.

  33. @mikey-fi4cw on March 13, 2024 at 9:32 am

    I found a 40-50 lb chunk of druzy quartz cluster, brought it down a mile of mountain, and I set it outside the house. The next day I went to check and a bird was sitting on it. When I walked up to it, there was also a toad sitting under the side of the crystal cluster. I think there is really something about the crystals.

    I live in NW Tennessee, across the Mississippi River from NE Arkansas and SE Missouri.
    I appreciate the Abundant Natural Resources in Arkansas and their Clear Fresh Waterways, I’m in a Muddy Waters Environment.

    It is worth the ponder when folks, never having been to the state, judge it and the people.

    Know this, "definitive ignorance knows no geographic boundaries, and I assure you, Tennessee and Mississippi, actually would qualify for the jokes and judgemental accusations every bit as much, *if not far more, than Arkansas.*

    …but, it is a Wise Mind that makes a habit of Conscious Thought + applied the Higher Mind, and there is no judging coining on in Higher Minds.

    … be Happy

    *Excellent Video Documentary, much appreciated.*

  35. @jimfrommars2591 on March 13, 2024 at 9:39 am

    I’ve always wondered, are the larger quartz crystals older? Or just the conditions determine the crystal size?
