Break Your Own Geode - Size #1 - 2'' to 3''

Break Your Own Geode (Quartz crystals inside) It's the inside that counts! A geode is a kind of rock formation that happens when a pocket of air or gas is gripped and forms a cavity in sedimentary rock. A hard "crust" shapes all the way through the outside with the hollow space. Groundwaters, which in turn carry dissolved minerals in solution, leaks from the rock more than a long period of time. Result is beautiful crystal points or layers of banded crystals deposited in the hollow space, much for the wonder of the lucky one who gets to be the first ever to look inside. How to crack it: Place geode inside a paper bag or old sock, lay it on a sturdy flat surface like a driveway or workbench and hit it genttly at first then increase strength until geode breaks. Ideal for kids demonstration, to sell at festivals or just for fun. The inside geodes are beautiful clear sparkling crystal clusters.
