Welcome to Rock Solid Passion! I began rockhounding in spring 2024 and I’m still learning every step of the way. Join me as I explore the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas—the Quartz Crystal Capital—hunting for minerals, fossils, Native American artifacts, and the hidden stories buried in this ancient landscape. Out here, every hike is an adventure. I search creeks, ridges, and remote forest trails for clear quartz, rare minerals, relics, and traces of history left by those who came before us. I’m also learning the lapidary arts from scratch—cutting, sanding, and polishing rough stones into something beautiful. Expect real progress, real mistakes, and real discoveries as I figure it out in real time. If you enjoy geology, rock collecting, fossils, artifacts, lapidary, or the peace of nature, you’re in the right place. Everyone is welcome here. Want to support the journey? Your encouragement keeps these adventures going. {See links below} Come explore the magic of the Ouachita's with me.

TONIGHT AT 6:30 PM CST — THE FINALE.
Part 3 of the Mountain Quest trilogy premieres tonight, and if you haven’t watched Day One and Day Two yet, now’s the perfect time to catch up before everything comes together.
This run on the mountain has been wild — scorpions, bones, creek beds, and something moving in the woods we still can’t explain. Tonight is the final chapter.
🔹 Watch the Day 3 Premiere Here (6:30 PM CST):

☀️ BOULDERS & BLADES — Wet Saw Weather Is BACK! ☀️
The snow’s melted into slush, the sun is blazing, and I cannot wait another second—I'm heading creekside and breaking out the wet saw in the next 30 minutes! It’s been too long, and I’ve got some wild new rocks to cut, reveal, and celebrate with y’all.
This is a spontaneous warm-weather live, and I’d love to see everyone swing through—even just to say hi, hang out, and catch up. Whether you’re a rockhound, carver, crafter, or just curious, you’re welcome here 💬🪨
Also… I’m this close to hitting my next milestone (see screenshot 👇). You all have shown up, supported, and helped me grow—and I appreciate it more than words can say. Let’s push this over the edge together!
🙏Thank you, guys, you really are AWESOME!!

Thank you all so much for dropping by my live yesterday. I truly appreciate every bit of your support. I did have to cut the stream short because of some tech issues — I’m pretty sure the freezing temps outside made the tablet act up — but thank you for being patient with me.
I hope everyone is staying safe and warm during this crazy winter weather.
Your support means more than you know. ❤️

⭐ LOST FOOTAGE RECOVERED — NEW VIDEO DROPS TODAY at 6 PM! 🎉
OMG you guys… I am SO excited about this one. My external drive has been acting absolutely wild, and I truly thought an entire roadside rockhounding adventure was gone forever. But today — somehow — I managed to recover every bit of it.
You saw me cut these rocks open in the New Year’s Marathon…
Now you finally get to see the excitement of the day I found them.
The petrified wood, the mystery pieces, the whole roadside cut haul — exactly as it came out of the mountain.
This was filmed before the marathon, so if you watched me slice these stones open, this video completes the story. You’ll see the exact moment each piece was picked up off the ground, straight from the roadside cut in the Ouachitas.
The recovered hunt video drops TODAY at 6 PM CST — not a Premiere, just a straight upload so you can jump in whenever you’re ready.
I cannot wait for you to see this one. The mountain gave us some wild pieces that day. 💎🪨✨
