MINING DIAMOND WINDOW QUARTZ & PHANTOM CRYSTALS AT THE NEW CRYSTAL RIDGE MINE IN MOUNT IDA ARKANSAS
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- In this video Ross & Jacob from JRJ Mining and I dig for some beautiful rare crystals! We find lots of clear quartz crystals of the finest quality. Many have Diamond Windows and we even hit a pocket of Phantom crystals!
This brand new mine is located near Mount Ida in the Ouachita National Forest in Western Arkansas. They are open to the public now by appointment only.
This was a fun day of digging as we opened several pockets of gemmy crystals.
I hope you all enjoy this video documenting this mining experience. Please share and leave a comment. I would love to hear from you!!

So fun to keep finding more of your adventures. Thanks again for posting fun and informative videos. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you, Peter!
We really enjoyed meeting you ☀️
Hey friends! I hope you enjoy this video. Big ups to my friends at JRJ Mining. Check them out and give them a follow! 🙌
As always, I love to hear from you in the comment section!
Much love crystal fam 💚
May I know, my dear friend, how much the piece is if it is of weight, clarity or color
It all depends on the condition, clarity and special formation. Value is all over the place.
I really enjoy your videos and content, I’m heading down to the area Friday for some fun crystal digging. I would really appreciate it if you could please share with me your top three crystal mines I could visit and look for crystals. I truly would welcome your input. David from Indiana
It varies so much, but I’d say Ron Coleman, Wegner and twin creek. Probably fisher mountain too.
Grüße mein Freund! I really appreciate you sharing your crystal knowledge and adventures with us. Do you ever host private digs?
I lived up highway 298 about 20 years ago. My ex husband is from the area and we would go about 4 or 5 miles between where we lived on Grandma Lane and Lake Quachita and there was an old abandoned crystal mine. We found so many crystals and would bring home the dirt and dig through it for days. Then after we cleaned off the dirt and "paper " he would soak them in acid or something like that. We split up and when I came back to get my stuff he had taken them and I didn't get to keep any. But my daughter still lives in the Little Rock area and I still have family in Conway so I will most definitely be visiting you when this stupid pandemic is over and I can come back down there. I am in Illinois and have told people about digging for crystals and now I can show them how!
It was nice to meet you today! Say hi to Jo and Be. They will remember Dustin. 😊
Good to meet you Dustin!
Hey Dominic.....that video was outta sight. I notice lots of receiver crystals and I especially like those with small diamond faces. Would just love to spend one day there.
Thank you kindly!!
I am not sure on the status of this mine but they may still take people up there.
It’s a beautiful spot indeed
WOW!! it 's so beautiful I 've never seen it clear Crystals emerged from the ground In my Country it 's very hard to find Congratulations
From 🇹🇭 fans page of Thailand

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy my videos 💫
My husband and I are the West Virginia Crystal Chasers, on Fb I am sure we will run into you at some point. Good luck on your digs and keep making the videos.
Hello Dominick, I am really enjoying all of your videos. They are really informative and I am learning so much from you. I live in Hot Springs so I am super close to a lot of mines. Hope to meet you someday and go dig with you.
Hey brother! Let’s go digging together some day. I’ve been enjoying your recent reviews. Happy digging!
i love to see when you dig cristals in direct and when we see all over. here we have to go so far to find small cristals :( . i speak very bad, i'm in france... :)
This is the place I wanna go next time I come up!
Great video, Dominik! I haven't been rockhounding in several months due to an arm injury then surgery (my bicep dislocated from my elbow all rolled up to my shoulder), but I have been thinking of heading down to the Mt. Ida area possibly this weekend or next. Not sure if my arm can take the shock of hammering just yet though, so we'll see. I may have to look into this location, so thanks for getting word out about it, and enjoy your day today!!
Thank you
And I hope your arm keeps on healing nicely. Try arnica oil to speed up the healing process. 🙏
Love these clear beuties Hope someday Will also dig for them
Aloha! Me and my boyfriend are from Hawaii. We would love to come up and join you on a crystal hunting adventure in Arkansas!!
And then we can come visit you in Hawaii 😉
I used to live on the big island and love it there 🙌
Wow, lovely crystals 💎 Great video as always, thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Fletcher! Much love!!

Amazing finds. I'll get down there real soon. 😁
There was a crystal mine parcel bid offering from the Quachita forest service in the legal notices recently. I'm sure your crews knew
This is awesome! I'm in KS right now but I hope to come here one day!! So beautiful
Thank you
Hope to see you here one day 💫
Adding to my first comment left a short time into video. Wish I was there to dig. Imagining the energy surrounding you must be exhilarating!! I love digging out surprises like that. JRJ (hope I got it right, on a crystal high) Mining, are you hiring? Great video!!
Salve garoto seus cristais são lindos. Parabéns. 🇧🇷
Hola my friend happy to se your video again

Good job!!
They are so beautiful!!!
Nice video!!
Greetings from Greece!!
Thank you 😊
Always glad to see a video from you! such a great one as always!!
Thanks a bunch!!
I wanna go
I love you videos they are so incredible
Thank you
That makes me so happy!
Hey Dominick! Enjoyed this immensely. Always wondered how a crystal appears right out of the mine. How much breakage occurs from the tools you search with?
About 96% of the crystals are smashed into dust. With enough time and practice, you can get it to 100%!
1:50 Look at all those DT crystals!!! My heart is beating faster... LOL
Sir, I've seen your video on CZcams ... Sir I have a stone, I can not find out that it is stone cone or is diamond
How much does it cost to mine there? A friend and myself are looking to find a good state to go mining in for crystals and gems. i live in California and she’s in New Mexico, but were willing to travel, any suggestions would be amazing. Thank You!!! Love your videos!!
Plenty of mines in Arkansas to dig for a small fee. Nevada, North Carolina and upstate New York also have an abundance of public mines. Both California and New Mexico have great mining locations as well. Hallelujah junction, palo mine etc
Greetings Brother! You said some day this will be open to come dig!?
They are open by appointment already! Send them a message!
How many one of that if you sell that?
You ever wanna play a game of among us would be lit . Love your vids my dude
Thank you!
I had to google that lol
These guys could use some gloves for sure! Nice clears and phantoms.
True. They prefer digging without gloves. I was mostly holding the camera and still had gloves on 😂
What are phantoms? Thanks
Just returned home 3 weeks ago we’re they opened then or by appointment only? Nice finds🌻
They are open by appointment only at this time. ✌️
Hope there open all the time soon🌻
I'm driving through mt Ida on the 23rd! Which mine would be best for digging through tailings with two children? We're coming from California and only have one day to stop and dig!!
Check out my other videos for ideas. Not sure which place is best at this time. Good luck to you and your family!
Wegners has several options, or Ron Coleman in Jessieville is a good place, easy access.
@@CrystalsofArkansas I came back to tell you how much fun we had! We went to Jim Coleman Miller Mountain. Wegner was closed. However, Jim let's kids 12 and under in for free, and adults just $10! Definitely got our money's worth and more! We got some really great stuff! It was a long drive from Los Angeles, but I'm already planning a return to try the other spots :) 😃
How can I reserve a dig. I don’t use Facebook. Thanks
Jrjmining@gmail.com ✌️
I can't watch this any more. It's freaking me out!
🤷♂️
Im trying to find there contact info I cant find it. Also Where in the area is the mine Im trying to find a public crystal mine as close to Calgary/Alberta
It’s the Facebook page link:
JRJ Mining
(The first link in the description)
This mine is near mount Ida, Arkansas.
I’m not familiar with mines in Canada. There is the Thunder Bay Area for amethyst crystals
@@CrystalsofArkansas I tried talking with my Dad about going there and they refuse to go in car or plane since is cost so much money :/
hello! thanks for your video, do you know if the mine is open in 2021? looking to come this week... I have emailed and FB message the owners. Hope to go:)
They are open by appointment all year. They may have a group minimum.
They will give you all the details. Good luck!
Thank you! Your video made it happen! And i have an appt with the owners! I may watch your video on repeat:) so so excited thank you for the info and inspiration
Aaloha
😊🙌🌸
😔I wish there was quieter music , like the volume its at when people are speaking
Thanks for the feedback. I maybe will make a long version with no music.
The music is pretty important in my creative process.
Hello ok🌺👍🌹🥀💃🇮🇳👍👍
Two words; Hair Cut
Crazy hair, don’t care. ✌️
Bro I'm very poor Plzzz help Mee 🙏🙏
10:55. Dude needs a hardhat. OSHA does not approve this enthusiasm!
There was no high walls at all. Super safe, thanks for the concern! 👍
