  • Rockhounding Zinc Creek Oregon. South Umpqua Falls Rockhounding. Rockhounding Agates and Jasper.
    Rockhounding, prospecting, rock hunting, stone collecting - call it what you will, it all boils down to one thing: getting outside and exploring the great outdoors. And nothing beats rockhounding in the Pacific Northwest, especially in the beautiful state of Oregon. It's a passion of mine to hunt for unique stones and bring them to life through crafting. There's something truly special about uncovering the beauty of newly discovered materials and turning them into works of art, jewelry, and other crafts. From agates to jasper, sagenite to crystals, quartz to opal, and even petrified wood, Oregon offers a wealth of minerals to collect. So, let's get outdoors, hunt some rocks, and create something beautiful together.

      I love it too! There are so many variations and places to collect from, which is fantastic. Plus, they're common enough that everyone can find some.

      Jasper is the opaque version of microcrystalline quartz. It's popular in gemology and mineral collections and comes in a range of colors, often with unique patterns or inclusions. Because it's opaque, it doesn't let light pass through.
