Location Type: Public Access
Details: This comes from the Earth Treasures Volume 4B book by Allan Eckert and it says there is Dolomite, Limonite, and pyrite. I have not been here and I assume the info is outdated, however I'm thinking that north or east of Eureka springs there may be roadcuts or exposures to find. Sometimes the book mentions the minerals, and if it doesn't indicate crystals then it may just be listed for being concise. It didn't say crystals here.
Directions: From book: "Berryville area. 3 miles north on SR-221; turn left and go less than 1 mile west; in hillside exposure south of creek."

I found the source of this information and it is over 70 years old! I tried to find the location listed and could not find it. The pyrite exposure was supposedly visible in a creek bed and excavations for a railroad (which is no longer there) found more of it. There was pyrite and limonite in dolomite in significant quantities in two locations north of berryville 3 miles. The area of the exposure was small (creek exposure was only 100 feet). |
