Arlington

This entry is pinned at a coordinate in central Arlington, Virginia — dense urban/suburban ground near the Rosslyn-Courthouse corridor, not a park or natural exposure. The one jasper lead tied to Arlington County in rockhounding sourcing points to Spout Run, a small stream that cuts a wooded gorge from I-66 down to the Potomac near Key Bridge, a few miles north of this pin. Arlington County itself has essentially no documented mineral-collecting sites beyond that single mention — it's a built-out county, not a rockhounding destination, and this looks like a database entry generated from the county name rather than a specific, verified locality. Anyone chasing this lead should look at Spout Run directly rather than this coordinate, and check land status first — Spout Run's gorge sits inside a National Park Service parkway corridor, where collecting is prohibited.

The batch coordinate sits in central Arlington near Courthouse/Clarendon, not on Spout Run. Spout Run itself parallels the Spout Run Parkway, running from I-66 northeast to the Potomac River near Key Bridge and Rosslyn.

UNVERIFIED. No collecting method, tools, or season specific to this location were found.

Land status here is unverified — confirm ownership and permission before visiting. If the intent is Spout Run specifically: the stream's gorge is largely within the George Washington Memorial Parkway, a National Park Service unit, where removing rocks, minerals, or any natural material is prohibited under 36 CFR 2.1. Arlington's urban parks (Potomac Overlook, Gulf Branch) are county-run and also generally restrict collecting of natural materials. This entry should not be treated as an open collecting site.
