The World Championship Quartz Crystal Dig at Arkansas (Mt Ida) is where all contestants have the chance to pick a participating mine and go fossicking for quartz crystals. At the end of the day, the contestants with the largest, heaviest and best looking specimens receive awards and praise. Some mention is made of the healing powers of crystals in this segment, with a few believers imparting their visions, cures and stories.

Next, the film travels to Canyon Lake, Texas, where fossil hunting (with "dinosaur" George) attracts lots of wide-eyed children. There are dinosaur footprints, fossilized sea urchins, fossilized clam shells, microfossils, trace fossils and even a flat snail without a shell. Throughout the film, a "lab talk" on each of the type of rocks is given by a geologist whose sometimes strange-but-true experiments add to children’s amusement.

We learn that barite roses are the state rock of Oklahoma. Found at Norman, barite roses are named for their distinctive rose formation and the red colour in which they form. Excited fossickers beside the road are interviewed with their findings examined and explained, and we get a peek inside the Timberlake Rose Rock Museum, which hosts "the world’s largest collection of Barite Rose Rocks."

Lastly, we move on to the Houston Gem & Mineral Show where rocks abound in demonstrations, activities, showcases, displays, sales and a magnificent Rock Food Table where rocks look almost good enough to eat. A must for any gourmet rockhound!
