Pennsylvania has a very rich mineral history. It is also one of the states that is very friendly for rock, gem, mineral and fossil collectors. Several hundred of the 4,000+ mineral species have been found in PA. There’s a veritable treasure trove of crystals, fossils and geology history in Pennsylvania waiting to be explored.

These days, it seems like more and more people are looking for unique outdoor adventures. Seen the TV show “Trash and Treasures”? A huge hit! Now, many people old and young are scouring roadsides, quarries and historical mne areas for a little piece of natural history.

Rock collecting is not just a warm weather hobby! Many collectors find autumn and winter collectiong better in some ways as many of the weeds and bugs are gone.
