23 miles southwest of Llano. Became state park in 1977, formerly fee collecting site.
Numerous pockets of excellent prismatic epidote crystals to 20 cm were collected around the contact of the Enchanted Rock stock by Charlie Moss when he owned the ranch. He had a number of excellent pieces in his personal collection, but I do not believe that they went to the state when the ranch was sold.
Quartz Hill is a small knob in the valley between the second and third domes south of the main "rock". Well formed, but not spectacular, milky crystals to 4 cm used to be scattered across the surface.
