Hey there. Just started rockhounding/tumbling this past year. I am a beginner with little experience and am looking for information on what kinds of rock to look for in the Spokane area. I have found plenty of calcite, some jasper, some agate and others. Any information would be very appreciated and helpful. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I must say that most rocks get more than a passing glance from me. I was at Irv's Rocks and Gifts in Spokane Valley today (very helpful people, highly recommend them), and they kindly showed me how to make a hole in a rock for jewelery purposes. Went straight home (turns out I already had the tools) and successfully made a rather nice looking hole if I do say so myself.

Welcome! I had the pleasure of being stationed at Fairchild AFB many years ago. Not into rocks then but I loved the area.
