This should point you in the right direction......this isn't a hobby of mine, so I'm not sure whether or not it's the most current.

There's actually a "ROCKHOUND STATE PARK" just south of Deming, NM.

The JARILLA MOUNTAINS at nearby Oro Grande, NM (30 miles south of Alamogordo) are a good area to find certain gemstones as well as ore samples.

This web page shows some fine examples of surface finds in the Jarillas.
