Join the hunt for Arkansas’
State Mineral: Quartz. Quartz is especially abundant in the Ouachita Mountains
and Arkansas is known worldwide for its production of quartz. The first day we
will meet at Ron Colemans quartz mine. The second day will be in the lab
learning how the Ouachita Mountains formed and why quartz veins are so
abundant! We will also discuss the different varieties of quartz and other
minerals associated with it. Special Information:
Day 1 is at Coleman’s Quartz
Mine (items to bring: shoes to get dirty, sunscreen, bug spray, gloves, lunch )
Day 2 is at Harding University Thornton Education Center
Room 326
Detailed times and instructions will be sent out
