Extractions: Oregon Sunstone COLLECTING ROCKS IN THE NORTHWEST A wide variety of rocks, minerals and semi-precious gemstones is available for collecting on public land in Oregon and Washington. Most BLM and USFS lands are open to rock collecting. Some areas, such as Glass Buttes obsidian area and a public sunstone area in the BLM Lakeview District, have been specifically set aside for this purpose. Collectors should note that there are some restrictions and a permit may be required, depending on the amount of material you collect, how you collect it, where you collect, and whether the material will be used commercially.

Extractions: The most productive quartz veins are present in both Paleozoic sandstones and shales, but those having shale as the host rock typically are massive milky vein deposits with a smaller proportion of clear, well-developed crystals. Deposits in sandstone units may be in the form of veins, sheeted zones, and stock works. Sandstone-hosted deposits usually contain less quartz volumetrically than shale-hosted deposits, but often yield a higher percentage of clear crystals in cavities or pockets. Many crystal-bearing pockets were distorted or crushed by structural adjustments during the Ouachita orogeny (mountain-building episode) after initial quartz deposition. The deformation commonly causes the veins to show complex fabrics. Quartz formed in the cracks The quartz veins were formed by the filling of open fissures and display little evidence of significant replacement of wall rock. Milky quartz crystals and associated vein minerals of the Ouachita Mountains were deposited from hot waters during the closing stages of mountain building, ranging from the Late Pennsylvanian (300-286 million years ago into the Permian (286-245 million years ago). The veins attain a maximum width of 60 feet in Arkansas and nearly 100 feet in Oklahoma. They are most numerous along the central core of the Ouachita Mountain region, where they are present in shale, slate, sandstone, and other rock types. Along and near the borders of this region, the veins are usually confined to sandstone beds encased within thick shale units.
