Can you collect here?

The cited official source documents geology, stratigraphy or a mineral occurrence, but does not establish a general public right to collect specimens.

Before visiting

A documented Jammu & Kashmir mineral occurrence is not collecting permission. Many records are active or former mines, mineral-resource/exploration blocks, quarry/lease areas, forest land or other regulated terrain. Verify current land ownership, mineral concession/lease status, forest or protected-area controls, local restrictions and written permission before removing any material.
