Utah Picasso Marble

I was in the Salt lake Airport and I saw a beautiful rock called Utah Picasso marble. It can only be found in Beaver, Utah. The Gulf of Mexico used to reach to Southern Utah. The shells from tiny sea animals turn into limestone and were covered by lava. This created the colors in the rock. Some colors are pink, yellow, and brown, which contrast with other colors, such as black, brown, white, and grey.

Does anyone have any experience finding this stone?

That is a beautiful stone. I will have to research where it can be found.

Did you find a good picture? The ones at the airport were large. I found some shaped like animals and they did not have the beautiful designs like the ones in the airport. The ones at the airport were abstract and reminded me of Picasso.

I saw some pretty ones on the internet . There was no place that gave directions where to find it or if it was where the public could find it or not. I will ask at the rock shops for more informaiton on the sites

They would be fun to find. Very unique.

I found a site that has pictures of shapes made out of the Picasso Marble. You can see the pretty contrast in colors. http://www.therockshed.com/septarians2.html

I saw some picasso marble in a rock shop. The rockhounding books gave no info on finding it and the rock shop said it was all in a mine and therefor you can't get it yourself.

That is too bad. They would be fun to search for and to make something out of them.

I decided I will have to buy myself a piece to go in my collection

I will have to check the price of the ones at the airport. How much were the ones that you saw?

THIS MARBLE IS LOCATED IN THE MILFORD, UTAH MOUNTAINS - NOT BEAVER, UTAH. MILFORD IS LOCATED IN BEAVER COUNTY. THE MARBLE IS OWNED BY PRIVATE LAND OWNERS, YOU CAN NOT GO ON IT TO ROCK HOUND. THE ROCK CAN BE PURCHASED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY IN MANY DIFFERENT TOURIST SPOTS. IT IS UNIQUE AND EACH PIECE IS DIFFERENT. THE GENTLEMAN THAT FIRST LOCATED THIS MARBLE WAS MELVIN BRADSHAW. INCREDIBLE MAN TO SPEAK WITH AND LEARN ABOUT MANY DIFFERENT TROPICS. HE HAS SINCE PASSED AWAY AND HIS FAMILY OWNES THE PROPERTY. FOR MORE INFORMATION YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT EDART@IN.COM

Good morning. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy. I am from Maldives and learning to write in English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Propecia vs provillus, if the desire dates the widespread active hair of the splitting, they will regenerate within a past symptoms from a other and nutritional minor loss, including to many non-active neighbors and radiation."
