We had reservations. When we got there, the mine was closed. We called and they said they were not going to open up. We drove 10 hours to get there. I would not recommend this mine at all. more

Ok first I read all reviews. Basically they were positive about this mine except for 1 or 2. I just got to the hotel after a day of digging and here goes. This was possibly the best experience I have ever had. I do not work for mine, I am from south Texas and this was our first time at... more

I've been to the Arrowhead Mine over 9 times in the past year. My recent trip was 2 weeks ago and this is My most favorite crystal mine to go to out of all the crystal mines in Arkansas. I've been to all the other crystal mine in the Mt.Ida area and the Coleman Mines north of Hot Springs and... more

I don't know where cmongo4 went, but I although I have no way of knowing this, I somewhat suspect he or she may have at least some interest in one of the other mines, based on that review, because it certainly had nothing to do with the Arrowhead mine we experienced.

We came across Arrowhead quite by chance , arrived late in the day and mined for less than an hour. What we came away with was thrilling - absolutely beautiful crystals... more

If you are looking for a place to dig your own quality quartz crystals and have a great time doing it, then do not go anywhere else in the Mt.Ida-area than the Arrowhead Mine. You will not be disappointed, whatever your objective - just to have fun or to make some money selling the beautiful clusters & points, both of... more

My wife and daughter and I spent a couple of days in Mt. ida, AR specifically to dig crystal at Arrowhead. We chose them out of the many mines in the area and if you're interested in digging up many beautiful pieces then this is the place. We had never been there but were expecting quality which they absolutely delivered.... more

I have also waited all my life to be able to go on a crystal dig. I spent weeks learning of all the places to go and tried by computer to figure out the best places to go with only a few short days to do this in. I read the reviews on this site and almost missed out on... more
