Basic Collecting Tools
Estwing Rock Pick
The rock pick is the iconic symbol, and single most important piece, of any rockhound or geologist's toolkit.
Rock Chisel
Rock chisels are vital for splitting open stubborn boulders or removing speciemens from cliff faces.
Prybar
A prybar gives you that extra leverage for working a rock free.
Sturdy specimen bag
A backpack strong enough to avoid ripping or tearing when it's loaded full of rocks is important.
Waterproof Notebook
Waterproof Pen
Take notes about your finds, unhindered by the weather. These notebooks work fine even in blinding rain.
Lapidary equipment
Outdoor Supplies
For Any Outdoors Person
First Aid Kit
Don't leave home without it. Serously, don't.
Flashlight
Small, lightweight, and super bright. A lifesaver if you get caught out in the dark.
