Hi folks, newbie here. I recently saw an old collection that had calcite and barite crystals from Otero County. I understand they come from septarian nodules in the pierre shale. Can anyone steer me towards a collecting site for these ??

Welcome to the forums Johnnygotrox!
A few of the Club Members and I took a few trips down to Otero County recently and found large Septarian nodules with Calcite and other minerals and fossils. If you would like to find your own spot I recommend learning more about the status of the lands you wish to prospect. A good topic to start with is How Do I Avoid Claim Jumping? There is lots of great info on the site here so dig in! -------------------- |
