The Crystal Garden — Local services in Hot Springs

After a long day of digging nearby, we happened to catch this great shop open on our way out. We immediately recognized the gentleman out front as one of our favorite YouTubers from whom we have learned a lot about crystal mining. The tables outside were covered with beautiful crystals. Mind-blowing local clusters filled the porch and upon entering the shop, we were amazed at the quality and selection of the pieces. Everywhere we looked, we found beautiful specimens. The prices were also very fair and Dominic was very helpful and knowledgeable about everything in the place. As far as rock shops go, this was one of the best shops we’ve been in and we will make it a point to stop...

We came to Mt Ida for Spring Break and to dig for crystals partially inspired by the owner of this shop.

After visiting the closest mine - we decided to pop in here and were super surprised to see him as we did not know he was the owner. Dominik was super friendly and chill about my kids who were a bit wild after the excitement of Crystal digging.

His prices are incredibly reasonable - in fact I would have paid more for the awesome quality of the pieces we purchased.

We are already planning our next trip back and will 100% make this shop part of the itinerary...

We stopped at the Crystal Garden on our way through the Ouachita mountains. Funnily enough, we had seen one of his videos on YouTube the day before while we were researching rock hunting spots, so I knew exactly what it was when we unexpectedly passed by. A great store - MUCH much better than the two rocks stores we visited in Hot Springs. The sourcing is far more ethical, come to find out, and the vibe is downright peaceful. Loved giving our money directly to the person who pulled the crystal out of the earth....
