Hi, I’ve been collecting for awhile and I’m in Duluth this weekend. I’ve never looked for rocks but I’m willing to drive a hour or so if anyone has any suggestions. I’m looking for Yooperlite, agate, and thompsonite. I have all my gear with me but don’t know the area. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and support. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Look in the appropriate book that includes Minnesota. Gem Trail in Minnesota. Might be able to google it, or go to the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies website. Good luck!

I doubt you are going to find much Yooperite in Duluth. Drive to Moose lake and go to the pit.(E Agate Road) Don't waste your time at the airport, I have never had luck there. Also you can try the piles on the other end of town. Go here and park 46.453586, -92.731366. moose by mrk525, on Flickr Orange is the trail, red is the pile you should hunt along with the area below it. BUG SPRAY!!
