The Fairfield, Utah deposit is one of the most prized sources in North America, known for producing material with a clean, saturated apple-green color. This piece has a natural quartz matrix running through it, which gives it contrast and grounds the green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rough was acquired at the 2025 Spokane Rock \u0026amp; Gem Show — one of the best regional shows in the Pacific Northwest for sourcing quality Utah material.
