Rockhounding in Utah

246 mapped spots across 29 counties. Utah packs an enormous amount of geology into one state. The Topaz Mountain area, Dugway geode beds, San Rafael Swell, and the U-Dig fee site at Antelope Springs draw collectors from across the West for everything from topaz and red beryl to trilobites and septarian nodules.

Top minerals found in Utah

Counts reflect how many spots in this list mention each mineral.

Notable areas: Dugway geodes, Topaz Mountain topaz, Brian Head agate, and the trilobite quarries near Delta are perennial highlights.
