Products of the Ouachita Mountain Region

Quartz Arkansas leads the United States in the production of quartz crystals. The Ouachita Mountains produce some of the world’s purest quartz in Montgomery County. People collect quartz because of their beauty, but quartz is also used in jewelry, electronics, optics (gun sights) and in the aerospace industry.

Novaculite Novaculite is found in Garland County. It is used to make concrete and asphalt. Novaculite is mainly used to make whetstones, which are stones used to sharpen knives and surgical tools.

Diamonds Arkansas is the only state where diamonds are mined. The Crater of Diamonds State Park is located in Murfreesboro. Here visitors can search for diamonds…and keep what they find! There are about 600 diamonds found at the park every year. The largest diamond discovered in Arkansas was over 40 carats and is worth $650,000.
