Round Mountain Rockhound Area is one of two Fire Agate collecting areas (Black Hills Rockhound Area and Round Mountain Rockhound Area) on land under the authority of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in southeastern Arizona. The ground is littered with white chalcedony and bits of red. I saw more sparkles of fire in the material here than at Black Hills...
This is my all-time favorite rockhounding adventure (so far)! Not only because I found some awesome rocks but also the transcendent resonance that reverberates to my core when I immerse myself in such a place. It’s a feeling of connection, pleasure, peace, and calm that lingers long after the experience.
