Although, rumor has it that there are no rocks in the desert southwest, I bet you can download some of these publications just in case.

Gee... I have already found a number of places listed. Fools Gulch looks like it has some nice copper minerals. Quartz crystals just south of Quartzite (no surprise there)...

I'm pretty sure the Quartzsite rock club is still active. You could contact them, or even join for a season ($15). Last I knew they even had a fire agate claim. http://qrgmc.org/ In Tucson, there's the Old Pueblo Lapidary Club (OPLC). They have field trips. http://www.lapidaryclub.org/
