Summary
| Description |
English: Hydrothermal quartz crystals from the Late Paleozoic of Arkansas, USA.
The Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas were formed during the Late Paleozoic Ouachita Orogeny. That mountain forming event was accompanied by the intrusion of hydrothermal quartz veins in some areas. The Coleman Quartz Mine allows for close examination and collection of spectacular quartz crystals from these veins. The quartz crystals seen here are from a hydrothermal quartz vein intruding the Middle Ordovician Blakely Sandstone. Well-formed hexagonal quartz crystals are common at the Coleman Mine. The crystals are clear/colorless (“rock crystal”) or whitish (“milky quartz”). Location: Coleman Quartz Mine, south of Jessieville, northern Garland County, west-central Arkansas, USA (34º 39.700' North latitude, 93º 06.072' West longitude) |
