Enchantments of Arkansas | Blue Phantoms at Crystal Vista

From part one, the winning request for an Arkansas video was how to find blue phantoms at Crystal Vista. Thus, Megan Pinkston and I returned to this fairytale landscape to grant the wish. Crystal Vista was thinned and recontoured in September of 2024 (shortly after filming the video) but we feel confident that the turning of the soil has made perhaps even more crystals accessible, including new groups of blue phantoms. We're happy to present many hidden gems and forest friends that we discovered in this emerald palace.🌿 Video chapters: 0:00 Into the Emerald Gate 1:02 Arrival at Crystal Vista 2:58 Tips for Finding Blue Phantoms 4:26 Larger Crystals on the Ridgeline 7:16 Giving Quartzilla a Bath 7:57 Origins of the Blue Phantom 9:18 Sticky Gems and Forest Friends Connect with us in other creative spaces: Hunter Frith on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_everything...
