Rockhounding New York: A Field Guide to the State’s Best Rockhounding Sites by Robert Beard Falcon Guides (2014)
With this informative guide, you can explore the mineral-rich state of New York, from the beaches to the mountains. The book describes the states’ best rockhounding sites and covers popular and commercial sites as well as numerous little-known areas. Although the technical and mineralogical data on the 98 sites is a bit brief, this handy guide does include maps and directions to each site and enough rockhounding information to at least prepare you for your visit.
Brief sections in the front of the book review the state’s bedrock geology and natural resources and there is also a short section on basic rockhounding.
