Day trip - digging for crystals.

One unique thing about Arkansas: it's home to some of the best quartz crystal in the world! It's second only to Brazil and within a 2 hour drive of Texarkana, you can dig for your own! Hot Springs, Arkansas and the area around it in the Ouachita mountains are home to some rich quartz crystal veins. There are many mines that are open to the public and one of the best is Ron Coleman.
