In open pockets: vugs in limestone, gas cavities in volcanic rock, and pockets inside pegmatites. That is why digging productive crystal ground means following a vein or a pocket zone rather than sifting random soil. Loose points in creek beds are pocket material that erosion already freed.

The nearest crystal spot is about 6 miles out, and the farthest on this list is 147 miles. Most fall inside a normal weekend day-trip radius.
