The vibe is good in Mount Ida. And it should be, it's crystal country. In fact, chances are good that the crystals from your last séance came from Montgomery County, Arkansas. There are so many "that after a good rain you can look down and see those little buggers everywhere," says Gayle Williamson of the Mount Ida Chamber.
Now every October the outside world gets the chance to get a little groovy, not to mention very muddy, by attending the World Championship Quartz Crystal Dig. Area crystal mines open their doors to the public for digging. Over $1500 in prize money is given away to the best of the bunch. But hold onto your crystals, because you'll feel better with at least something to compensate for the $60 registration fee.
