A designated free rockhounding area in the Maury Mountains southeast of Prineville, and the classic Central Oregon moss agate ground: translucent chalcedony with black and green dendrites growing through it like weather inside the stone. Surface hunting works here after rain or a windy winter, which makes it a good first stop with kids. FREE on Ochoco National Forest.
