Rockhound State Park

New Mexico, Luna·Rockhounding

Rockhound State Park is the rare state park built for the hobby it's named after: pay the day-use fee, collect up to 15 lb of jasper, agate, and thundereggs per person per day, and take it home. No other collecting rule on this site works quite like that.

  • Up to 15 lb of rocks and minerals per person per day may be collected — no separate rockhounding permit is required beyond paying the standard day-use fee
  • Commercial mineral dealers are prohibited from collecting here for resale; the limit is for personal, non-commercial use only
