Our Owner the Rock Hound

Namaste 

Overland Treasures is owned and operated by our in house rockhound Cari Sanson. From a young age, Cari was captivated by the natural wonders that lay beneath the Earth's surface. This curiosity turned into a passion and since 2017, outside of raising 4 children, mineral exploration has become her life's work. Specializing in central Arkansas quartz, Cari has a unique ability to identify untapped quartz veins and mine for the most rare and unique quartz crystal. Driven by her deep appreciation for the gifts bestowed by Mother Nature, Cari founded Overland Treasures with the purpose of sharing these awe-inspiring treasures with the community, providing enthusiasts, healers and collectors with access to the exceptional quartz crystals you can not get anywhere else in the world.

 

Through the pursuit of unearthing minerals, Cari has found a reignited appreciation for the impact our environment can have on our physical and mental health. Cari took up Overlanding as a way to effectively track and mine quartz veins in Central Arkansas. Overlanding combined with physical and intimate relationship miners have on the environment has allowed Cari not only to keep be more active but also have moments of peace with the earth and herself. For many this can be hard to find. Cari has also been introduced to the metaphysical impacts quartz energy bring to the human body and mind, leading to a higher level of personal awareness and peace. Overland Treasures provides an outlet to enable and share these experiences with you and hopefully enable and guide our neighbors to a more satisfying life experience. We love you and we are glad you visited.
