Mineral history, not an invitation. This mineral history comes from a federal record of historic mines, prospects, and occurrences. It is not a list of places to collect. Historic mine sites are usually on private land, under active mining claims, or unsafe to enter — and often all three. The places you can actually collect are in the legal-access directory below.
The federal record lists 1 historic entries involving fluorite in Arkansas , clustered in Garland county. That geography is the honest clue about which corners of the state carry the right rocks — read it as geology, then pick a legal place to test it.
