      Crater? ... the lamproite diatreme?
      I wonder if there are any more of those as yet undiscovered -- possibly eruptions predating the Ouachita Orogeny, which are presently obscured up in those hills.

    This is my favorite spot to mine in Arkansas, and I've just dug and looked in the area above the creek and a little ways up toward the caves. There's so much abundance that I've never walked all the way up to the caves. I've found incredible points there - long and clear. There's also lots of double terminated points.

    @olivierr01 3 роки тому +1

    Thanks for sharing your excursions. The crystals with the one dominant facet at the tip show the Dauphiné habit. They grew horizontally with the big facet on the lower side hence the little 2nd generation crystals deposited on the upper side. And, if you want to get rid of the non disolvable crusts - give them a brush with iron wool. I wish you all the best!
