Where to Find Fluorite in Utah

Utah fluorite shows up in two main settings. Spor Mountain in Juab County, the world's primary beryllium source, produces lavender-purple fluorite octahedrons in the topaz-bearing rhyolite, often with bertrandite and red beryl associations. Indian Peaks in Beaver County yields green and purple fluorite in rhyolite vugs. Smaller showings line the cuts in Cottonwood Canyon east of Salt Lake City, with cubic green and colorless crystals in carbonate matrix. The Lost Sheep and Lost Wonder claims at Spor Mountain are the standard collecting ground when access is open. Surface fluorite weathers cleaner here than in wetter states.
