The State Gemstone of Utah is the Topaz.
Seems Topaz can be found in Utah in the following places:
# Granite and North Granite Districts
* Miller Mine
+ Mooney Springs
+ Wah Wah Mts
# Four Mile Wash
# Mountain Spring Peak area
# Pine Grove District
Violet claims
From an ebay user's personal "about me" section
First, I would like to tell you a little about myself and the company Crystal Minerals. I grew up exploring and prospecting the mountains of southwestern Utah, searching for a wide range of minerals and gemstones. From gold and native copper, to topaz, bixbyite, and red beryl, I have mined it all.
My dad is the one who got me started with topaz mining. He and partners Jim and Cid Crystal originally owned and operated the old Maynard pit in the Thomas Range of Utah. That partnership has since dissolved and we have moved on to other claims, but the two of us formed Crystal Minerals and continue to mine together to this day.
Good luck!
