It has been said that mineral and rock collecting is one of the most popular hobbies throughout the world and one that can be very rewarding and pleasurable for both the serious collector and for the weekend amateur. This guide was compiled to spread the collecting word and to share the localities in the 'Land of Enchantment.' It has a detailed listing of collectable New Mexico minerals, agates and petrified wood and includes over 125 collecting sites and how to get to them as well as 32 county maps indicating collecting locations. The authors have also noted access problems, such as private property, government lands and the necessity for four-wheel drive vehicles, and they have provided the reader with collecting and safety tips. The listings are divided by counties, then localities with the rocks and minerals that can be collected there. There is also a cross-referenced index of localities, maps and minerals.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Very Outdated,
By Nightshade (Albuquerque, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Mexico Rocks and Minerals (Rock Collecting) (Paperback)
This book is very outdated. It does have maps but they are not detailed. The directions to sites are humorous to say the least. A good example is on page 30 the directions say take route 60 west 4 miles on your right you will see a tree turn on the second dirt road. One can only guess how many trees have grown since the publishing of this book. There are only 3 color pages in this book to identify what you are looking for.
