Our story

The American rockhounding field guide

Field & Stone helps you find rocks, minerals and fossils yourself — site by site, state by state — and connects you with the clubs that keep the craft alive.

Field & Stone grew out of olympicrocks.com, a long-running directory of the rockhounding clubs of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. We kept that community DNA and widened the lens to the whole United States.

What we do

We document where and how to rockhound: real localities with access notes and collecting law, field-ID guides, and a directory of rock, gem and lapidary clubs. We focus on getting you out in the field, responsibly.

What makes us different

  • Field-first. Every locality page is about going there yourself — coordinates, access, season, legality.
  • Honest about the law. We tell you where collecting is and isn’t allowed (see Collecting Ethics).
  • Community-rooted. We point you to clubs and shows, not just gravel.
