Lovelock Agate (NV R2, Site 33)

Directions: The directions were easy enough to follow, but the road to the left and the “parking area” to the right sort of sneak up on you. (There is a lot of sage and grass growing in them, so perhaps they are getting harder to see as time goes by). There is plenty of parking, and we found a teaser of what was in store for us in the parking lot…people must throw out what they don’t feel like carrying home with them!

Comments: This place is amazing! While I don’t know exactly what we collected, there were more beautiful pieces of pink, orange and red “Opalite?” than I knew what to do with! We didn’t travel too far down the gully, but filled our buckets within a half an hour (the dogs were waiting in the truck). We found a few nice pieces of petrified wood, and left very happy! This is another place that may not be good to start a road trip with….because after finding this many good stones, you will be spoiled if you aren’t just swimming in agate and opalite!

Jessi, I passed through Quartsite, AZ this week and immediately became a rock fan. I want to take my boy to this place, to go rock collecting. Lovelock Agate. I dont see direction or a map on this post. Can you help? Adam
