Rock HOUNding With Fred

RockHOUNding With Fred (capitalization intentional ;)

An investigation into the unique minerals found in Oregon state leading with the question “What does only Oregon have?” Question answered using mineralized and unmineralized inquires.

I have been documenting my research (slowly) to Instagram which can be found here: @AMBSJprojects


There you can find semi extensive descriptions of my experience at The Fossil Cartel.

I went to another store called ​ÉYÈM Holistic Health Studio which I did not expect to find much about rocks, but did! And much more! I intend to post more about this visit on the @AMBSJprojects Instagram account, so check back soon!

As far as further Rock HOUNding goes, Fred had this to say about my current progress.






So, In this search I found a few mines I may be interested in visiting in the Summer Months.

The first of which is Pick and Dig Obsidian Company, which is the mine Fred insisted I find.


The second mine I am interested in seeking out is called Opal Butte, in Morrow County Oregon.

I sent Fred the Specimens I procured per the investigation of "What Only Oregon Has?"


The tight shots requested by Fred can be found in the post about the items acquired on the @AMBSJprojects Instagram.

Interviews conducted so far on this topic can be found here: Rock HOUNding with Fred (the album)

These are some sites that I have been using to further my study on this topic:
Forest Service: Public Rock Hounding Sites
Oregon Rock Hounds Online
Scott's Rock & Gem a Rockhounding Journey!
