Kingman Feldspar Mine
Public
Mohave County
Kingman Feldspar Mine represents northwestern Arizona pegmatite collecting, with documented feldspar-quartz workings and rare-earth allanite from the Kingman area. It rounds out the top 10 because the mineral suite, microcline, quartz, and allanite, is geologically different from Arizona's better-known fire agate, turquoise, and placer-gold localities.
Allanite, Microcline, Quartz

Area near Meadow Creek Pass
Public
Mohave County
Meadow Creek Pass belongs to the same western Arizona volcanic-desert collecting belt that gives Mohave County its agate, chalcedony, jasper, and fire-agate reputation. It earns a place because the material suite is broader than a single color of agate, while BLM's Arizona guidance specifically flags fire agate on Kingman Field Office public lands.
Fire Agate, Grape Agate, Chalcedony, Jasper
Top pick
Under Burro Creek Bridge
Public
Mohave County
Burro Creek is a Mohave County agate landmark, with Mindat recording both the Burro Creek agate occurrence and agate in the Lower Burro Creek Wilderness Area. The site is especially useful for lapidary collectors because the material is colorful chalcedony-family float tied to a well-known BLM desert drainage, not a vague county-wide agate listing.
Pink Agate
