I don't often see a lot of videos on rockhounding New Mexico. New Mexico is a rockhound paradise! It's helpful to me, as a rockhound, to see rocks as they look in the rough before I rockhound an area so that I can learn what to look for. So, what do the agates in New Mexico look like rough? What do the inside of the agates found in the southwestern deserts of the United States look like? Well come along and see! These are several of the rocks I found during a recent visit to southern New Mexico. If you are lucky enough to visit New Mexico, here are a couple links to resources for rockhounding:
The Deming Gem and Mineral Society is AWESOME. Deming, NM is a rockhound paradise. I found these folks to be spectacular people! They are super knowledgeable and friendly. They have a great place in Deming with wonderful specimens. Check out their website and reach out to them with any questions you may have:
