We proudly created quite the collection to take home to our friends! Even when we thought we were finished shopping, more lonely clusters were found hidden on distant tables by the equipment for cleaning these unearthed beauties. I began to heavily regret wearing flip-flops on the puddled ground with chiggers busily chomping away at my feet and ankles. I decided that tennis shoes and socks were a must if I were to ever stand around her tables when we returned here again. It was okay since I was ready to get going. We were anxious to get a hotel and unload the car for dinner. The dogs were getting anxious as well, for it had been a long travel day as usual.
We reached Mt Ida around 4:30, and upon seeing the real estate company across from the hotel, we thought we had better grab some brochures before they closed at 5:00 p.m. We had also been given specific suggestions to hook-up with a friend down the street named Julie who was a mutual friend of our friends. She owned a well-established crystal shop and mine, but something told me we had better check in with her before the 5:00 hour as well. You just couldn't be too sure of anyone sticking around past 5 pm in these small towns.
The real estate agent Deanna was so nice and rapidly fired off answers to my non-stop questions about the land in Arkansas. We reviewed everything from zoning, drilling of wells, costs per acre, and the potential difficulty in hiring a crew to show up to work. Springs and lakes were a dime a dozen around there, so that wasn't an issue, but if we desired to develop closer to the main lake, it would double the price per acre. Frankly, the pricing was well below many other areas we had been looking at, whether we moved closer to the lake or not. Another benefit was if we wanted the national forests to back our land, as that was a potential option with the available land for sale. Honestly, neither of us had really spent any time in Arkansas prior to this trip, nor researched anything about this state, so to find out that this was 'the Natural State' and that Mt Ida is the quartz crystal capital of the world was a bit surprising to both of us. It was once again ANOTHER synchronicity since we had received several messages and visions that we would be raising the Atlantean Crystals etherically throughout this mission, in support of the ascension process.
