Deep Desert Expeditions is proud to be the exclusive tour operator for visiting the Blue Crystal Mines.

Blue Crystal Mines
Geodes

Located in scenic Lisbon Valley, about 35 miles south of Moab, this defunct copper mine is now producing the finest Azurite anywhere.

Upon arriving at the mine you’ll be allowed to start looking for Azurite yourself!

Finding specimens on the ground is about as easy as looking down. There’s azurite and malachite absolutely *everywhere.

Rosettes, geodes, and “blueberries” (azurite concretions in spherical form, found ONLY at Blue Crystal Mine) can all be collected and kept.

*Some restrictions apply/quantities restricted, hand tools will be supplied.
