Rockhounding in Telangana
Telangana currently has 86 sourced map records in this explorer. Telangana has a broad rockhounding geology base: GSI documents ruby/corundum in the historical Khammam region, garnet-kyanite-mica schist around Garibpet, quartz and feldspar belts across the Hyderabad–Ranga Reddy, Medak and Mahabubnagar regions, mica pegmatites, barytes and copper belts, plus diamond, gold, manganese and uranium reference geology. The explorer separates these geological occurrences from legal collecting access.

Why Telangana is a major quartz, gem-corundum and mineral-belt state
The official GSI publication hosted by Telangana Mines & Geology lists corundum, garnet, glass-sand/quartz, mica, barytes, base metals, manganese, iron, diamond, gold and uranium occurrences, including named locality coordinates. Current Telangana Mines & Geology pages also show quartz, feldspar, corundum, agate, jasper and other minerals within the state mineral-concession framework. This release retains both specific and contextual records while keeping mines, prospects and controlled resources non-navigable.

Access and collecting rules
Telangana contains gem-corundum, garnet-kyanite schist, quartz and feldspar veins, mica pegmatites, barytes, base-metal, manganese, iron, diamond, gold and uranium occurrences. A documented occurrence is not a public collecting permission; mine, quarry, prospect, lease and sensitive mineral records remain reference-only unless access is independently established.
