Finding rockhounding spots was harder than I thought.
There were websites with thousands of locations - but they often led to private property or had become inaccesible.
My few favorite resources weren’t optimized to be viewed on a phone, either.
So I created this.
rockhoundingmap.com makes finding rockhounding locations easy - and I’ve driven over 60,000 miles to visit 75 of them myself so far. Over 300 additional spots that I have scoped out, but haven’t explored yet are included for you to browse too!

Me!
My name is Griffin, and I run a little YouTube channel surrounding my hobby of collecting rocks. It pairs with a traveling rock shop near Raleigh, NC called Third Planet Rocks.
To support the project, please consider checking out my Etsy Shop and see if there’s anything you like! I frequently post new pieces I have collected myself as well as minerals and polished pieces from around the world.
I hope this site sends you on an unforgettable adventure.
It was important to me to make this affordable for everyone.
