Description: Here are forests of petrified wood, veins of brilliant turquoise, and troves of facet-grade garnet, peridot, and amethyst-in all, more than 640 mineral species that make Arizona a rockhound's paradise. In Rockhounding Arizona, formerly The Rockhound's Guide to Arizona, expert rockhound Gerry Blair describes more than seventy of the state's best rockhounding areas, from jasper hunting in the historic mining district near Bagdad to searching for gold in the Superstition Mountains and digging for turquoise at the foot of the Hieroglyphic Range. This guidebook covers popular and commercial sites as well as numerous little-known sites. It also describes where to view mineral specimens and prehistoric artifacts at Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest national parks, as well as on tribal lands. Brimming with advice on collecting and preparing gems and minerals, this handy book also includes maps and directions to each site and directories to museums, rock shops, and major public land areas. For the beginner, Rockhounding Arizona offers a complete introduction to this many-faceted hobby. For the expert, it is an outstanding guide and source-book.

(C) maps. - Global positioning system coordinates for each location. - A difficulty scale informing the reader of the effort required to reach, navigate, and collect at each site. - chapters covering the basic science of the minerals, fossils, and fluorescents to be collected. - The geological formations at each site and the scientific properties of the speimens found there. - 20 pages of full color photographs of specimens by the well-known mineral photographer Jeffrey Scovil including 5 pages of fluorescent minerals. - Over 400 pages of text, maps, and collecting site and specimen photographs.
