This website or the contributor can't guarantee the information here to be accurate or to be up-to-date, although that is the intention for the data. Illegal activity or property damage is not the responsibility of this website, but each visitor is encouraged to review the Rockhound Code of Ethics. Each website visitor is advised also to consider reference sources listed and outside sources in their research before visiting the location.
Location Type: Public Access
Details: From the Utah Geology site, location #21, it says: "Celestite, qurtz, calcite, jasper, geodes

Certain horizons within the Curtis Formation contain nodules of jasper.  Some of the jasper nodules are hollow, forming geodes, which may contain crystals of quartz, calcite, or celestite.  Other nodules are solid containing bands of the same minerals."

Directions:
From the Utah Geology site, location #21, it says: "Directions to Site: This location is reached from the westbound lane of I-70 about 2.5 miles west of the interchange with Utah Hwy 24 to Hanksville.  The turnoff is a gravel road passing through a gate in the interstate fence, located between the "Rest Area, 1 Mile" sign and the rest area itself. As of this writing, blue ribbon on the highway reflector marks the turn. If you miss this turn it is many miles to an interchange.  Once through the gate take the fork to the right (rather than crossing the wash), turn right at the second intersection and drive about 0.3 mile to the bluff near the north side of the interstate.  Walk along the base of the bluffs and in areas below the outcrop horizon of the nodules.  They will be scattered abundantly on the ground."

The marker should be very close, the website had a marker but no coordinates so I tried to match the location on Google maps.
