Looking to dig your own quartz crystals without busting rock? Our tailing pile digs offer a relaxed and rewarding way to search for natural Arkansas quartz—perfect for families, first-timers, and serious collectors alike.
Our tailing piles are open for digging every day and are routinely refreshed with material from our active mine. You’ll uncover everything from delicate quartz points and rugged clusters to the occasional gem‑quality find—so each visit feels like a brand‑new treasure hunt.

Admission includes all-day access from 10 AM to 5 PM. You can dig at your own pace, take breaks as needed, and keep everything you find—there are no weight limits or additional fees. We limit access to just 20 people per day to ensure a comfortable, uncrowded experience.
Tailing pile digs are by appointment only, and reservations must be made through our website at least one day in advance. This helps us manage group size and ensures that every visitor has the space and support they need to enjoy the experience. The mine is conveniently located just 5 to 10 minutes from local restaurants, grocery stores, and hardware shops—so it’s easy to grab food, supplies, or ice during your visit. While the road in is gravel, 4-wheel drive is not necessary. Regular passenger vehicles can access the site without issue.
Hand tools only are permitted. You're welcome to bring your own gear, but we also offer tool rentals, shade umbrellas, and pop-up gazebos on-site for those who want a little extra comfort while they dig. We strongly recommend bringing plenty of water, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing.
