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.
