There are many localities within Tasmania containing interesting collectable geological material with interest to collectors, or with potential for lapidary purposes. In recognition of the recreational activity of fossicking, some of the best of these areas have been set aside for the use of fossickers. A prospecting licence is not required to fossick within declared fossicking areas.
