NEVADA ROCKHOUNDING Nevada is an actual rockhounding paradise. The reason is Nevada was once totally under water, back when giant marine reptiles swam freely in a gigantic, shallow sea in an area that would later become Nevadas Great Basin. Majorgeological activity happened, making way for massive deposits of silver, gold, opalized wood, onyx, agate, geodes, jasper, turquoise, and a whole lotta fossils. It helped make Nevada the lucrative mining area it is today. In Nevada, spending the day searching for little bits of natural history can be the perfect way to connect with the great outdoors. You will have the thrill of cracking open a slab of shale to reveal a trilobite fossil or unearthing a gorgeous nugget of turquoise. Once you find your first gemstone, youll wonder why you didnt start rockhounding earlier.

Boasting a nice array of charming businesses including local restaurants, antique stores, and art galleries, it's the type of community that's getting harder to find these days.
