Gee and Dee’s crystal mine was wonderful- Gee showed us where and how to find crystals; he is a sweetheart! We found a BEAUTIFUL large crystal cluster there and he told us how to clean it, too! Highly recommend them!!

My grandson and I came to the area specifically to look for crystals. We went to Fiddler’s Ridge the first day and found a large number of varying grades. It was fun and extremely productive. Today was our second day out. We happened to go into Atlantis Found in Mt. Ida at Routes 7 and 270. This experience with the owner, Larry Teske proved to be the highlight of our trip. Larry is incredibly generous with his crystal knowledge. He is also friendly without being pushy. We left his store with a map and many different leads. He definitely has some of the most unusual crystals and mineral displays. So for a genuine adventure into the world of crystals, seek out this very special place, made that way by its owner. We can go back to Texas now, content and thrilled.

WARNING–DIGGING CRYSTALS CAN BE ADDICTIVE AND FUN!
My husband an I visited Sweet Surrender while we were in town and had a BLAST. We came home with a 5 gal bucket full of crystals and quarts rocks.
I had no idea what I was looking for and had some trouble developing the “Eye” for crystals so I got a lot of help from Becky. Becky was very informative and has a great sense of humor- she made digging fun. The crystals are very clear and beautiful. We found single crystals that were jewelry size and some that were four inches long and 1 ¾ inch in diameter. We also found some great clusters with multiple clear perfectly formed crystals. I would suggest that you wear boots and jeans. Once you find the first crystal the adrenalin kicks in and you will be down on both knees digging or climbing around like a mountain goat! Can’t wait to do it again!

We had a wonderful time digging for crystal in Montgomery County! We HIGHLY recommend “Gee and Dee’s” and “Sweet Surrender” two of the mines we spent time at. Dee and Becky took the time to show us how to look and what to look for. If any of you are interested in the metaphysical, these gals are kindred spirits…and that Dee…what a hoot!!! We are already making plans for a return trip with more of our like-minded friends! Thanks for the GREAT time!!!
