Rockhounding the Dugway Geode Beds and Finding a Large Amethyst Geode!!

I spent a day rockhounding the Dugway Geode Beds along the old Pony Express Trail in Western Utah. This was my first trip out in several years and was expecting the area to be pretty picked over, but was pleasantly surprised that I was able to fill a bucket in just a few hours and found several large geodes as well.

There are two main pits at the geode beds, and I have found that the first main pit has the standard smaller (baseball size or smaller) blue and white quartz lined geodes. The second pit has the larger and more banded geodes. The second pit is where I found the large amethyst geode.
