💎Rockhounding Selenite Crystals | Salt Plains State Park, Oklahoma The Great Salt Plains were created millions of years ago by the repeated flooding of the shallow sea that once covered Oklahoma. When the ocean receded for good, it left behind a thick crust of salt. Saline-rich groundwater still flows beneath the plains, replenishing the surface during annual floods. This dig location is free for all! It’s great for families and everyone of all ages, to come out and have a great time digging up
