Earth's Treasures Waiting to be Opened! These sacks of geodes contain a nice assortment of types and sizes. Take a Geode, put it in a sock and gently tap with a hammer until it cracks. The trick is to not hit the geode too hard. Inside you are likely to find a beautiful treasure of crystals. No two geodes are alike. Some may contain small crystals and others large. Some are solid while others are completely hollow. Some even contain trapped water that is millions of years old. Available in 2, 6 and 10 Pound Sacks with approximately 2 to 5 geodes per pound Geodes will be between 1 and 2 inches in diameter Fun for both kids and adults Great for Birthday Parties and Family Gatherings Educational - wonderful for school projects The term geode is derived from the Greek language and means shape of the Earth. This can be an accurate statement since geodes are often easy to spot due to their spherical shape. Geodes are defined by their cavity which is lined with crystals. Geodes are formed over millions or even hundreds of millions of years. Geodes usually form in one of two environments - either volcanic or sedimentary. In volcanic systems, hollow cavities tend to be filled with supersaturated fluids rich in silica. These usually for quartz geodes. Sedimentary geodes are usually more diverse in mineral content. Geodes form crystals from the outside to the inside. Tfore, the crystals nearest the center are the last to form. The crystalline material is usually harder than the host rock. Over time, the host rock erodes leaving behind the geodes. Typical minerals found in geodes include quartz and chalcedony, calcite, and selenite. Many other minerals can also be found including marcasite, pyrite, barite, strontianite, goethite, and kaohnite. Geodes are unique forms of nature, and like fingerprints, no two are exactly alike. Trancas Geodes are thin skinned geodes. They are imported from Mexico. Kids love them since they are very easy to break and have wonderful clear quartz and chalcedony. Sheffler Geodes come from the Sheffler Mine in Missouri. The Sheffler geodes were formed 250 million years ago. They are from the Mississippian Age, part of the Warsaw formation. These geodes are known for their beautiful clear quartz crystals that often mixed with other crystals such as Smokey Quartz, Calcite, Pink Calcite, Kaolin, Selenite, Aragonite and Pyrite. Many of the large geodes have been found Enhydrous - still containing water, millions of years old! Red Sin Geodes are thin skinned and come from Central America. 80% of these geodes are hollow. Most contain beautiful crystals of calcite and quartz. Over 90% are fluorescent under a black light. Shipping: Shipping for all items will be with First Class, Priority Mail, or standard UPS Ground.
