Juab 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.
