    What To Expect

    Bisbee, Arizona, once a booming mining town, is a hidden gem for rockhounding enthusiasts. Nestled in the Mule Mountains, this historic town is renowned for its rich mineral deposits, offering visitors a unique opportunity to uncover a variety of beautiful and rare specimens. Known primarily for its copper mining history, Bisbee also holds a treasure trove of minerals such as malachite, azurite, and turquoise, which can still be found in the surrounding hills and tailings left behind from mining operations.

    For rockhounding enthusiasts, Old Bisbee presents a rare chance to explore both its scenic beauty and geological wonders. Whether you’re an experienced collector or a beginner, there’s something for everyone. The region’s colorful rocks and minerals are not only beautiful but also historically significant, with many specimens found in Bisbee displayed in museums worldwide.
    This is a 20 minute walk in old Bisbee searching local areas for copper minerals. Then we drive to two different locations about 4 miles away to find more cool rocks. You will leave with local Bisbee minerals
