Magnet Cove, Arkansas is perhaps the rarest site on earth.   Why?  This tiny area contains 42 distinct minerals, some found only two other places in the world: the Tyrolean Alps and the Ural Mountains.  This rural Arkansas community received its name because of the presence of the mineral magnetite.  Magnets go wild at this irregularly shaped 5 mile area.  Settlers soon found more rare minerals and collectors went crazy.
