| Here is the posting from the California Bureau of Land Management website (please visit the website for rules on collecting): "Explore this area in the Marble Mountains for hematite and magnetite, found in reddish-brown iron deposits near mining shafts, and apple green epidote found in the washes. An abandoned quarry yields sizable chunks of limestone and marble. Next canyon has a tiny mountain of garnet, with dark red and brown crystals forming small clusters. Green epidote is scattered about and much of it contains bright metallic hematite blades. Further east is yet another canyon with gray ridge of limestone imbedded with many interesting fossils. To reach this site turn north from Chambless on Mactull Avenue and travel 2.2 miles to the southern foothills of the mountains." | turn north from Chambless on Mactull Avenue and travel 2.2 miles to the southern foothills of the mountains |
