• You may want to download our free Rockhounding Guide to New Mexico (4.5 Mb PDF). • Two books, Gem Trails of New Mexico by James R. Mitchell and New Mexico Rockhounding: A Guide to Minerals, Gemstones, and Fossils by Stephen M. Voynick provide fairly up-to-date information about mineral collecting in New Mexico. • The book Minerals of New Mexico by Stuart Northrup gives a comprehensive list of mineral occurrences in the state. • Another resource is Rockhounding New Mexico by Melinda Crow. • Local “rockhound” groups can also be helpful in pinpointing collecting sites and providing information about local land status and collecting issues.
