This website or the contributor can't guarantee the information here to be accurate or to be up-to-date, although that is the intention for the data. Illegal activity or property damage is not the responsibility of this website, but each visitor is encouraged to review the Rockhound Code of Ethics. Each website visitor is advised also to consider reference sources listed and outside sources in their research before visiting the location.
Location Type: Private Property
Details: This is a quartz mine where you can dig for your own crystals in the mine.  I don't know how much the fee is, but according to some reviews it may be $20 each.  You should always call ahead in my opinion to ask for details if you can.  Here is the last detail I have: "Rest room at mine, water available, digging tools available on request."
Directions:

The GPS marks the office location, and I think you will get directions from there to the mine after you pay your fee.

Gee & Dee Crystal
Owners: G. W. & Dolores Johnson

4764 Highway 27 North, Story, AR  71970
Located: Take Highway 27 North from Mount Ida and drive approximately 11.5 miles, watch for green house with crystals and sign in front yard.

That's too bad.  I have heard a similar story from someone else.  I don't think any good material has been found at this site for years now according to some sources.

 Poison Ivy was the biggest thing we got!  However, there was a man there that had great luck.  The owner was real nice quite a character.
