Rockhounding in New Mexico, and the Reluctant Psychic #Mystery Series: I live in central New Mexico, with plenty of hiking on marked and unmarked trails, and quite a few old mining areas.

Rockhounding was one of the big draws for me. On this short trip, we collected:

- Thundereggs
- Petrified wood
- Black bog petrified wood
- Teal picture jasper
- Leaf fossils
- Agate nodules

My kid even discovered a small cave filled with sparkly citrene geodes!

@famousblueben Ben @famousblueben , and Greg @GPJohnston,
I got lots of results searching Mastodon for Rockhounding, Geology, Lapidary, RockTumbling, Gemology, Crystallography, etc.

No rock clubs meeting online, yet, though.

Different search results with and without intercaps, e.g., rockhounding, and RockHounding. (Why? :shrug:)

I got to enjoy a #RockHounding day with my lovely & brilliant partner (@333mcggg on X) recently, at the tiny community of #GemHill. We were out there looking mostly for #CommonOpal, but saw plenty of nice #jasper & #agate, as well. I know it isn't a history post, but you'll live!

After some blustery winds and big waves on #lakesuperior today, planning on some #rockhounding this weekend. More for the #rocktumbler #rocks #lapidary

My husband often asks: what do you plan to do with all these rocks you pick and tumble? This! Pack up lovely boxes and send them to friends and family for holiday presents, with a card detailing the gifts inside, including some Lake Superior agates and thomsonite. #rocktumbling #rockhounding #rock #lapidary

Trying to find restraint to not check the new 12lb tumbler a day early. Love the new tumbler from Highland Park! #rocktumbling #rockhounding #lapidary #rocks

And because I can't help but being a rockhound... I climbed up to ridgeline to collect a bit of petrified wood.

Decided to make the time to build up lists so I can maximize my Mastodon use. So you will see me promoting some lists as I build them. If you know of anyone that would be great to add, please let me know.

List 1: Rockhounding! This is my newest and most passionate hobby. Living on Lake Superior gives a lot of fun rocks to explore and tumble. So anyone who is into #rocks #rockhounding #lapidary or #rocktumbling (or if you know of anyone who is) just let me know so I can follow.

PS- expect to see more rock filled posts coming from my end! Including some local #agate finds.
