The best way to identify rocks is to examine their physical properties such as hardness, color, luster, streak and any noticeable patterns or crystal formations. You can also try using a field guide or reference book that includes photos and descriptions of local rock varieties.
In most cases, rockhounding for small personal amounts is permitted on public lands like forests and BLM areas with some restrictions. Always check with local land management agencies for any collection limits or protected areas.
Basic rockhounding tools include a rock hammer, hand lens, small tools for digging/chiseling, glassine envelopes or specimen bags for storage and a bucket or backpack for transporting findings. Sturdy shoes, sun protection and water are also essential for safe outdoor exploring.
