Standout chlorite spots in Utah

Hand-picked from the full list below, with the reason each one earns a trip.

Marysville
Piute County County
Marysvale earns a top spot for small but well-formed crystals in rhyolite cavities, especially bixbyite, amethyst, and reported rutile or pseudobrookite. UGS describes the occurrence as BLM public land in a mid-Tertiary volcanic field, and Mindat records the same locality north of Marysvale with bixbyite, amethyst, pseudobrookite, and rutile.
Gold Hill
Tooele County County
Gold Hill is one of Utah's most mineralogically varied old districts, with arsenic, gold, copper, lead, silver, tungsten, and zinc production tied to skarn, vein, and replacement deposits. UGS identifies it as Utah's leading historical producer of tungsten and arsenic, and Mindat records a broad suite of collectible secondary copper, lead, and zinc minerals around the district.
