The #1 place to stop! If you are looking for some gorgeous crystals Atlantis Found! has museum quality displays. They may not be the “largest” in the area, but Larry is honest and knowledgeable about the area crystals. He took time to answer and explain every question I asked. I felt so comfortable I did not look at other shops. When I got home, I checked the web and felt his prices were better then others in the area. Stop in and see him before you go anyplace else.

Atlantis Found! WOW! What a gem! Larry is one of the nicest, most knowledgable, non pushy, caring people i have ever met! You can really tell this man has a true passion for what he is doing! Every question I had he was able to answer any question i had, I enjoy gems and minerals quite a bit so i greatly enjoyed his passion about the stones. And i was very happy to get home with the delicate crystals and stone still intact! He takes great care in wrapping up all purchases to ensure the items safety! I cannot wait for my family to visit me from south Texas so i can share this great find with them!

I recently enjoyed a trip to Atlantis Found Crystal and Rock Shop, and it was a lot of fun! My boyfriend and I had taken his little sister down to the Diamond Mine in Murphreesboro and the only thing we found was a sunburn! It was a birthday trip going down hill, until we stopped at this adorable little shop! We spent almost an hour walking around and around the shop trying to decide on a good souvenir for everyone. I was very impressed with the service we received, Larry was able to answer every question we had and helped us find some great souvenirs and even some birthday rings for all!! I cant wait to get back to Mount Ida so we can visit this great shop again! I recommend it highly!

My mom and I “accidentally” stopped at Atlantis Found. The owner-Larry was very helpful and made our experience in Mt. Ida one of a kind. I didn’t get to go mining (after driving 5 hours) due to a major sun burn on my knees from canoeing on the Buffalo River, but Larry gave us tons of information about mining and he took a look at my sunburn and he had just the thing that would help me! I was in so much pain-it was probably a second degree burn! He had Ching Wan Hun (a soothing herbal balm) that is known for it’s healing of burns! If my Mom and I wouldn’t have stopped there that day, my knees would not have healed that fast. I am truly grateful for his help! We were guided to the place that we needed to be! The stones/crystals in their shop were beautiful and special! I didn’t get to go mining, but I had such a neat experience at Atlantis Found! That was the only place that we stopped in Mt. Ida and it was the place where we needed to be! Thank you!

On a recent visit to Mt. Ida, our first stop was Atlantis Found. With an amazing selection of quartz, including some metaphysical specimens, this has got to be the best rock shop in the area. Larry the owner is very helpful and was wealth of information about where to mine crystals. We didn’t find a whole lot of prized Arkansas quartz from Miller’s Coleman mine, but hope to return to Mt. Ida soon. If you are looking for quality Ark. quartz, look no further than Atlantis Found. Here you can find some of the best examples of the exquisite quality of Arkansas quartz crystal, for which the area is known. Prices are reasonable and we couldn’t leave without that special little crystal we found. Hope to do business again soon as we are looking forward to stocking our center in NC with Ark. crystal.

Stopped by to look and left after purchasing some items I had been unable to locate at my regular stop for stones.
This will now be my only stop. Wonderful customer service, and a really nice selection of stones.

What a wonderful adventure to wander through Atlantis Found! There are impressive crystal displays each with information cards to help guide in the selection of the perfect match to our desires. Larry has a world of knowledge that he readily shares. If you don’t see the item you want, just ask and Larry probably has it in hidden away just waiting for you. Thanks, Larry.

A friend of mine and I visited the Hot Springs/Mount Ida area to scope out what kind of rock shops are available here. Atlantis Found was by far the best shop we found, since we found what we were looking for there and much more. Larry, thank you for making our visit so enjoyable!

I returned to Mt. Ida after 2 years and again found myself at the wonderful Atlantis Found shop! Larry is a most knowledgeable person and is able to direct you to where to find a room that you will like, good eating places, where to mine and where the action is at the present time, etc. His shop also has about anything you would want to take home. I always find super gift items that are unusual and well received, but you are not pushed into a purchase…. This trip was no exception. Thanks again Larry.

A group of friends and I went on a dig to Gee and Dee’s Mine last weekend (excellent place!!) and visited a few shops on our way out of town. We loved “Atlantis Found!” and noticed that they seemed to have things in every price range. Larry was at the register and was very helpful and just an all around nice guy. I really appreciated the features on each crystal being marked, and the crystals being separated into categories for ease of shopping. I also appreciated the business card sized note with a photo and further description handed out with each stone purchased. I was grateful to be able to look at these later while enjoying my new finds. Do not miss this one!!!
