How large can deposits of Ulexite be, and where would they be found? All I've ever seen are small "specimens" for sale at mineral and gem shows, in new age stores, etc.
I'd like to know if there are ulexite mines somewhere, where they pull out huge chunks.

also, is there any other, similar natural fiber optic mineral? (and don't worry- you won't be doing my homework if you answer.) Thanks!

Great question.
t.y. Robert K. for the cool links.
I find some pretty nice Quartz Crystals in WA state.
But Ulexite...I think the links are your best answer.
Keep Rockhounding in the USA, and the world if you have the means...Wish I did.
