For opals, you are going to want to go to Virgin Valley which is in the NW corner of Nevada, so definitely more than two hours away, but worth it. The House Range in Utah is Famous for its trilobites, and IIRC that's probably less than two hours from Great Basin. The Battle Mountain area is known for turquoise. Probably want to pick up a guidebook like this one. Have fun, Great Basin is an awesome park!
