I am going to assume this land is private land. I don't have any information yet about permission to collect here. All that I do know, is that I noticed a lot of shale piled up on the roadside at the intersection of highway 10 and 62 east of Tahlequah, and I found that it contains a lot of pyrite. There are sand dollar shaped pyrites, as well as crystalline concretions and cubes. The material was abundant and the shale was piled so easily for picking, if only I knew about the permission to collect there. PrecautionsIf you do get permissions, be careful handling the sharp shale (use gloves), and keep hammering to a minimum (search first). Use the high-grade technique to leave samples for others and take the best that you find.

East of Tahlequah south of the intersection of highway 10 and highway 62 near the Illinois river.
