Garnet Hill
Public
White Pine County
Garnet Hill is Nevada's clearest public rockhounding benchmark: BLM identifies it as the Ely District's designated rockhounding area, and Mindat ties the locality to almandine garnet in flow-banded rhyolite with lithophysae. The site stands out because its garnets are part of a documented volcanic setting, not an unnamed gravel patch, and access is organized around casual public collecting.
