Crystal Hunting
In July of 2020, and again in July of 2021 I drove down to Hot Springs, Arkansas and started digging for crystals. I saw some videos on Instagram of how to look for your own crystals, and decided to start. It has so far become an annual trip that I make. On my first trip, my friend LeighAnna came with me. We found so many, got so dirty and of course had a lot of fun. I’ve started making necklaces with the crystals, and selling them at a local shop. There are lots of things to see along the way if you know where to look. There are lots of glass churches that I saw, and then crystal bridges art museum in Bentonville is well worth the stop even if its just a quick breeze through. The exhibits are all American artists and the collection is extensive.
Arkansas is definitely a beautiful state with lots of natural beauty, hence its name the natural state. The images that follow are from both trips I took. Usually I don’t get many images from digging because I’m covered in mud and dirt, and don’t want to get my phone dirty.
