We leave the clay packed around the crystals to protect them for the ride to their new home. We will follow up with pictures when she gets them cleaned up. Congratulations to Erin & Stacey! They worked hard, got dirty and had amazing results!

⚒️ Important Reminder for Our Crystal Mining Friends! ⚒️

Hey everyone! I just want to take a moment to remind y’all that this is not an easy dig — it’s definitely not ideal for your very first rock-hounding adventure.

It’s a tough day out there — the terrain is steep, rugged, and demanding. This location is best suited for experienced diggers who are ready for a real challenge and understand what to expect from a hard day of mining in the mountains.

We love the excitement and enthusiasm, but we also want everyone to stay safe and have realistic expectations before heading up! ❤️

At this time, we wish to remain exclusive and will be scheduling Pocket Digs as we are able. Balancing our other two businesses while keeping up with all the messages and crystal inquiries has been a challenge, but we truly appreciate your patience and enthusiasm. We are a very small, hands-on operation — every bit of dirt and rock that gets moved at the current time is done entirely by hand. Opening pockets is incredibly challenging, costly, and labor-intensive work, but we love what we do and hope that someday we can make this our full-time focus. For now, we must work within our current limitations. Please keep an eye on our schedule, as we will be opening up digs as we can. We’ll also be at the Mount Ida Gem and Mineral Show this weekend — if you’re in town, please stop by and see us! We are so grateful for your excitement, support, and encouragement as we continue to grow and share this adventure with all of you.
💎 With love and gratitude,
The Flash Mountain Team

I will be joining Wade Kelley and Brent Rickard for a live sale tonight at the The Willie Rickard Rock Farm.
I am preparing to share some of my cherished items that I have kept in my collection for many years. As I am running out of space, I believe it is time to share them. Please consider joining us this evening to view some remarkable specimens at 7 p.m. CST. We will be broadcasting live on the Willie Rickard Rock Farm page. As always, I am grateful for your support of our small business!
Enjoy a preview of some of the specimens that will be available tonight.
