Nebraska National Forest, Bessey Ranger District

Halsey in the Nebraska Sandhills is highlighted as a prime destination for finding iridescent labradorite. These mineral specimens were carried down into the area by prehistoric rivers originating in the Rocky Mountains.

Commenters largely expressed appreciation for the scenery or chimed in with their home states. One user offered a regional rockhounding tip, noting that agate collecting is prohibited at nearby Toadstool Geologic Park and suggesting Crawford as an alternative.
