Rock Hunting
Rock hunting in Utah?

Well, it depends on the type of rock you are looking for: Halit: famous Salt Flats Topaz: Topaz Mountain in western desert Geodes Utah: Dugway Geode beds, even in the West Desert Beautiful naturally colored Agate and Opal: Mountain Dome, Western Desert malachite and azurite: Milford magnetite: All Iron County Gold: great panorama near the old mercury mine copper, chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite: Iron County, more specifically, Iron Mountain Obsidian: Enterprise If you are in the rocks interested in Fossils are, well, leaving only his head towards the west, where you will be able to find, trilobites everywhere. Or make your way in Vernal or Price; nationally renouned sites. And rushing for my all-time favorite type of rock: uraninite: Carnotite Moab: Moab pitchblende: Moab Weeksite: Topaz Mountain (for the four mentioned above, Make sure to know what you want, and make sure you look for it.)
