Soooo I’m planning a trip to Arkansas in September and really want to do the phantom crystal mine at wegner but you need at least 15 people on a given day to go … it’s just me and a friend going on this trip. I called to enquirer about the request I put in and no one is going that weekend besides me and that friend…. Anyway I need 13 of you to go the weekend of September 10-13 sign up for the phantom mine so we can all get some cool unique quartz! Thanks in advance 😂

I’m trying to put together a little 2 day trip to Illinois to find a few fluorite specimens and anything I can get my hands on but definitely want to few fluorite… it will be a 5 hour drive from out of the state and I’m completely unfamiliar with where I can go. I know the cave in rock/ Shawnee park/ Hardin County area is the general area. I tried to reach out to a local gem and mineral club but they seemed less than enthusiastic about giving me any guidance. Told me to find druzy crystals in Missouri instead. I rarely get an opportunity to go hunting between my small home business, high school aged kid and 5 month old it’s hard to get away. My husband’s “gift” is letting me get a couple days to myself to go exploring. I appreciate it immensely but planning this has been a challenge. I’m not planning to post anything video wise about the trip and promise to be respectful and responsible while out and about if anyone could give me a little insight I would greatly appreciate it. If it’s best to private message me the information I would be very receptive to that. If it’s absolutely impossible I understand that as well. Thanks in advance for any help that comes my way!
