While cruising around Crystal Country in the Mount Ida area I saw this nice shop and stopped in. Right away I knew that these people are awesome. A modern building with an attractive and well organized collection of crystals, minerals, jewelry and gifts.
I'm a career jeweler, gem cutter and collector and I was interested in finding some super clear quartz crystals that I could cut into gemstones for jewelry. Dominik put together a top shelf selection of which he had mined himself and I picked a number of fine pieces. I also got a very nice amethyst crystal specimen from Mexico for my personal collection.
Super cool folks, Dominik and Jennifer answered my questions and directed me to the other places in their area. The picture is of a gem that I've cut from a local quartz crystal that I've gotten from them.
P.S. Check out "Crystals of Arkansas" which is their YouTube travel guide to many of the regional crystal mines. read more
