"What is rockhounding?" Collecting material that is about .02% 0f the earth surface and turning the material in to jewelery. Myself as a collector of over 40 years. i tend to lean towards the silica base material such as agate and obsidian, Petrified wood. and most rock hounds enjoy the fossil group and collecting the same. the other side to rock hunting is the out doors and the time you spend in your mines endless play of thoughts. and the enjoyment of the world we all share. remember this when rock hunting " Do Not Be A Rock-Hog " their is a limited resource in the world on the surface only and it takes billions of years for the material to form!!! treat the resource as if it was your own. their are laws we the rock hounds have as codes we must follow in the field to be responsible for the BLM Lands we dig on.

Are there any rock hound dating sites?
No. Your best bet to find a partner that's into rockhounding is to join every local club you can find, or try taking night school courses. Assuming you're male, best of luck, the number of interesting single women that are even slightly amused by any facet of the earth sciences is depressingly low. Might be an idea to dabble in other outdoorsy, active hobbies, be it hiking, biking, or even, ugh, bird watching. You may find someone that's physically fit, outdoorsy, and mentally curious that you could, with time and effort, convert into a great collecting partner. Or just drop the money on a mail order bride from Ukraine, I'm told they're cheap, great cooks, and don't complain about carrying fifty or sixty pounds of rock out of the bush on their backs.
