Welcome to the WMAS/Utahreefs message board Kreedan,
 
You have a great idea there. Go here and read more about how good it works: http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244
 
I, like you got the idea not long after I started my first reef aquarium and when we(the club) found that certain rock was ideal because it was ancient LR, the concept snowballed until now it's pretty much legend all around the world. I've had people out of the blue send me money to ship them a bucket of Utah sand and rock or to drive to another state with a pallet of the rock.Wacko
 
Now, even though I moved away, I keep a pile of the highest quality stuff at my Mom's house for people that don't want to go searching for it.

I don't think they'll let you take anything at antelope.  Stansbury Island is a good place.

Take I-80 west to the second Grantsville exit and then go north by the Morton Salt facility and on to the island (it's really a peninsula now).  I've been there to get sand many times but I don't know where to collect the rock.  Mark Peterson is the expert on that.  There's a good write up about it with detailed directions if you search.
