Standout topaz spots in Utah

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

Dugway Range
Juab County County
The Dugway Geode Beds are one of Utah's clearest geology-to-specimen localities: Miocene rhyolite cavities were eroded by Lake Bonneville and redeposited as diggable geodes in lake sediments. BLM lists the beds as a rockhounding hotspot, and UGS notes that the geodes commonly contain clear, purple, or pink quartz.
Topaz Dome Quarry
Juab County County
Topaz Mountain is Utah's defining gem locality, where amber topaz crystals formed in cavities of the Topaz Mountain Rhyolite and commonly bleach colorless in sunlight. The BLM identifies the area as a public rockhound recreation site, while the Utah Geological Survey documents topaz, red beryl, amethyst, garnet, bixbyite, opal, and hematite in the same volcanic field.
