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?
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
Thank you for the information. The pieces at the Salt Lake City Airport were really pretty.
