Details: This is land governed by BLM (Bureau of Land Management - government). Information about this location can be found at the BLM's Black Hills information page. Further instruction can be found at the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Arizona Page. Fire agate and chalcedony can be found here. The link is broken, here is what it said: "The Bureau of Land Management has designated the Black Hills as a scenic, historical, and geological area. The main attraction for rockhounds is the fiery bling of Fire Agate. Chalcedony is plentiful but most is white. With a little work the flashy greens, reds, and golds can be found. Helpful notes to newcomers: The road beyond the check in station is not regularly maintained. Travel by passenger car or travel trailer is not recommended.. Handy to bring: 1. Rock Hammer 2. Water 3.Small hand pick"
Directions: Black Hills rockhound area is located on the north side of Arizona route 191, between Safford and Clifton, about 18 miles north of Safford. Follow the dirt road about 2 miles to the heart of the collecting area. By looking at Google Earth, I'm thinking 18 miles north is actually more of a eastern direction, and the dirt road might be Old Safford Road.
