For those of you who subscribe to Rock and Gem Magazine, the March edition had an article about collecting carnelian on Weyerhaeuser lands in Washington, at a location called “Lucas Creek”. Please note that this area is closed to collecting, and Weyerhaeuser has posted the area. Newstand editions may not have this article. Please see the above Mineral Council web site for other trips to collect carnelian.
