Location Type: Public Access
Details: Just north of Galisteo and in surrounding areas you can find jasper and petrified wood.  This is a well known location.  Along with the Gem Trails of New Mexico book, you can also find it in "The Rockhound's guide to New Mexico" as Site 29 on page 62: http://books.google.com/books?id=RtW9j8k-iKEC&lpg=PA39&ots=C4baIcRyf8&dq=rockhounding%20in%20new%20mexico%20near%20los%20lunas&pg=PA62#v=onepage&q&f=false

Directions: There are a couple of road cuts just north of Galisteo on highway 41 that I visited.
