Relationships with mine operators across the South-Central United States have been made, these connections have established claims on land that have been studied and verified for quartz vein presence and access 

This process involves soaking the crystals in solutions designed to loosen the surrounding soil and minerals, without harming the beauty and intrinsic qualities of the formations. 

Then begins a regimen of hand “tacking” whereby remaining contaminants are carefully and skillfully released from the surface of the crystals by using hardwood toothpicks, single-strand wire, camel hair brushes, and high-pressure textile sprayers that focus a tiny spray pattern of water on specific areas of the specimen without damaging nearby fragile structures.

Hours upon hours of skilled craftmanship are involved in transforming a single small cluster from soil and mineral-encrusted discovery to museum quality display with a focus on incredible visual prominence. After proper cleaning, accurate representations of rock quartz generally contain faint coloration acquired during the formation process
