Hello, I am a new gal here, ISO rocks, rough gems. I'd love to plan a field trip, (day only) for Sat Feb 16th if weather permits! I don't know where to find them, hoping that someone in this area would be of assistance?

I hope someone will want to go Rock hunting......

You should join the Las Vegas club. They do group field trips

Not much in the Las Vegas area or areas where you can collect. Most the area around here is private, State or National Park or preserve. There is a spot not far from here where you can get read or regular selenite crystals and some garnet bearing rocks (garnet amphibolite, garnet in various colored quartz) and actinolite (asbestos) specimens. Otherwise most collection spots are about 60-100 miles from here. I plan to go on a club trip to Arizona Sunday, but could probably go somewhere Saturday as well.

It would help to know what you are interested in looking for.

And yes, joining the Southern Nevada Gemological Society would be a good idea. We do regular trips when the weather is good.

I will join soon. Todays trip was canceled last night, after my hubby got a route to work. He was supposed to be off today, needless to say, I am a little huffy!! Maybe we'll just take some advice and go it just the two of us when we can....

I usually go out frequently when the weather is good so let me know.

Yes, weather has to be good! That would be nice to have someone show us the ins and outs of where to look. Thanks!
