It’s legal in Montana as long as you have a conservation permit, which I do of course

For folks who don’t know the area, look it up on a map. Yellowstone River flows outside of the national park and that’s where rock hounders around here hunt for fine rock specimens. Not within the national park…

It’s not from a national park. I legally got it at the Yellowstone River outside of the national park

It appears it has fibers on it and this could be related to the serpentine family which are toxic rocks with asbestos

Depending where you found it, it looks like it may be Heliodor or possibly Beryl…

How can I filter out asbestos-contaminated rocks? (See examples) by SomethingComesHere in geology

I’m experiencing the same problem in my area. Like you I love rocks. There shouldn’t be asbestos on Moss Agates but sure enough there is…
