Why you should go…
Wegner Quartz Crystal Mines has operated for more than 35 years three miles south of Mount Ida in the Ouachita National Forest. It runs two dig sites, the 40-acre Crystal Forest surface mine and the Phantom Mine, where visitors can find rare phantom quartz crystals that show a shadowy crystal form inside the clear stone. Diggers keep everything they find, and the property also has a free mineral museum and a gemstone sluice.
