Arkansas Sodalite Sundae🍨
with Hackmanite| LW UV🔦
Self-collected and curated
(Origin story in ALT description)

The Sundae included 7lbs+ Sodalite inside of a 4lbs Depression glass, punch bowl.
This was one of my favorite displays to make! #rockhound #fluorescentmineral #nature #explore #glow
Arkansas Sodalite Sundae🍨 with Hackmanite| LW UV🔦 Self-collected & curated This sundae included 7lbs+ of Fluorescent Sodalite inside of a 4lbs Depression glass punch bowl. This was one of my favorite displays to make! Story time: The location was researched independently about 3 years ago. I researched Arkansas’ geological history for about 6 weeks. On and off in the Fall and Winter. Then in the Spring, I drove 9 hours hoping my research and strong instinct was correct. Hoping I’d at least find one…maybe some? But what I found (on my last day-day 4), was unbelievable!😳 Sodalite was everywhere. Soo much of it. Boulders 20-50lbs to quarter size nuggets. Piles of it all over the city of Hot Spings. In Arkansas, the syenite sodalite and hackmanite is used for gravel, roads, boulders, landscaping, everything. I even found some roads that wld fluoresce under LW UV. Wild! The rock is mined from an active quarry at the famous alkaline complex in Magnet Cove, AR. I showed rock shop owners in Mt. Ida and they couldn’t believe it. I remember one couple said, “We don’t have “Yooperlites” in Arkansas.” Actually, they do! Along with the beautiful Hackmanite. I bought the uranium Depression glass at a thrift store for only $15. #rockhound #fluorescentmineral #nature #explore #glow Arkansas Sodalite Sundae🍨 with Hackmanite| (visual light) Self-collected & curated (comment below for the discovery story) This sundae included 7lbs+ Sodalite inside of a 4lbs Depression glass punch bowl.

When I was a kid, I stayed outdoors until sunset. Played with stray cats. Loved to dig in the dirt for worms. Helped the neighbors garden. Home to me has always been the outdoors.

I always wanted to catch a frog. It took me 30+ years. It’s the little things y’all. The little things.🐸 #naturelover

I took the kids to the top of Crystal Vista on our first trip to Mt. Ida, Arkansas.
The best memories I have with my kiddos have been our outdoor adventures. 💎⛏️
