Summary
Jenny Dykes, owner of Stone Crazy, turned her love of geology and the outdoors into a viral pandemic project: hiding crystals along hiking trails with social media clues. Designed to get people—especially younger generations—outdoors and mindful, the hunts emphasize respect for nature, placing gems on stumps and rocks without disturbing the land. The response? Overwhelmingly positive, sparking community, connection, and quiet joy. With plans for more hunts featuring vanadinite, amethyst, and garden quartz in scenic spots, Dykes is turning her grandfather’s legacy into a movement that invites everyone to slow down, explore, and find wonder in the wild.
