If you create anything - please make it a point to ingest creative work from genres and entire fields that aren't where you work. Ideas coalesce all sources and the wider the net the better the result. Get off your own street and explore stuff that is so different you can't see home from there.

Is it wrong that I am fascinated with Quartz in Their Veins: Crystals in Arkansas’ Ouachita Mountains and the Coleman Family’s Legacy?! The whole family comes to life, & I literally experience the highs & lows with them during the read-through. Just completed the 1987 pocket of the McEarl crystals.

I'm biased, it's true. But this book is GOOD. Quartz in Their Veins is chock full of scientific and historical information, in addition to the Coleman legacy. You don't want to miss it.

How does the song Falling Leaves, written and sung by John Denver, intersect with quartz crystal mining in Arkansas? You'll have to read Quartz in Their Veins to find out. Only one chapter left (!!!) in the first draft. m.youtube.com/watch?v=SzSS...

Maple-Leaf Oak (Quercus Acerifolia) is a species of red oak that's endemic to just four areas in the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas
Can grow up to 50 feet
As y'all can tell from the name, its leaves look like maple leaves even though it's an oak
It's considered endangered

These are a few of my favorite things: my husband and his reverence for God, my son Chase and his engineering mind, my son Ben and his musicality, running, writing, seeing God in the things around me, successfully running two businesses, Hot Springs National Park, and Coleman quartz crystals.

Crystal Cave, the well known building along Whittington Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas, was originally built and run by J.A. Bauer, who also owned Miller Mountain Mine in Jessieville. Jimmy Coleman bought Miller Mountain Mine from the Bauer family in 1978.

One of Ron Coleman's favorite Arkansas quartz crystal points. The book I'm writing, Quartz in Their Veins, will tell you why crystals from the Old Coleman Mine set the standard for quartz.
