The TRUTH About Our Crystal Mining 🙈
No Cap, Just Facts 📚
Most quartz forms in either igneous rocks or environments with geothermal waters 🌊
In igneous rocks, quartz forms as magma cools. Like water turning into ice, silicon dioxide will crystallize as it cools. Slow cooling generally allows the crystals to grow larger.
Quartz that grows from silica-rich water forms in a similar way. Silicon dioxide dissolves in water, like sugar in tea, but only at high temperature and pressure. Then, when the temperature or pressure drops, the solution becomes saturated, so quartz crystals form ✨
According to the Arkansas Geological Survey, the Quartz crystals & associated vein minerals of the Ouachita Mountains were deposited from hot water during the closing stages of mountain building, some 280 - 245 million years ago 🤯
If you made it this far, here’s a vegan cookie! ✨🍪✨ I’m hoping that with this educational bit & the free access to Google we can stop getting comments like this 💀
For anyone wondering, this is a pocket dig at Twin Creek Crystal Mine in Mt. Ida, Arkansas ⛏️
