Details: For more information on finding chalcedony and fire agates here, go to the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Arizona Page. The link is broken now but it said: "General description: The Black Mountains are a source of chalcedony pieces that have eroded from the matrix and washed down the slopes and washes. Some of the pieces contain the flashy fires of gold and green that collectors call "Fire Agate". Helpful notes to newcomers: The material is scattered over a wide area and will require some diligence in finding good pieces. Handy to bring along: 1. Buckets or Rock Bag 2. Rock Hammer 3. Small hand pick"
Directions: Directions can also be found at the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Arizona Page. The link is now broken but it said: "The Black Mountains are in Northwest Arizona near the town of Kingman. From I 40 take the Oatman road for about twenty miles. The mountains are visible on your left. " Thanks probably to Bill Reynolds for adding the info, whom it turned out lived less than 10 miles away from me.
