Shawn: Oklahoma is noted for 2 minerals that are relatively easy and safe 
and fun for a youngster to collect. These are the Selenite blades and 
groups, from near Jet, and the "Roses" of Barite, dug near Norman. I don't 
have exact directions, but maybe someone on the list does, or you can try 
the Web.

Those are abundant in the right places, and don't involve a lot of hard rock 
breaking or mining. But you can get really dirty, especially digging out the 
Selenites. which involve holes of muddy water, etc.

If you don't have any luck finding directions, or better information, from 
these great Rockhound Group members, get back to me, and I will dig for them 
(no pun intended!)..........

Larry

Hello,
My name is Shawn. I am a homeschool mom of a 10yr old Geologist in the 
making. I joined the group via an invite from the list owners. I'm just 
looking for ideas, information, and a place to share my son's adventures in 
rockhounding. We are studying rocks, minerals, gems and almost anything 
geology related. We live in Oklahoma and are interested in finding others in 
the area that share the same interests. Anyone on the list from Oklahoma?
Thanks
Shawn
