I found a geode in a river bed. It had cracked open naturally and been scoured by the dirt and sand over the ages. A few flecks of crystal remained. It was one of the coolest things I found as a kid. I still have it. :)
@@kjb6606 "geode" just refers to the shape of the stone (round/oval with crystals inside), in this case it's an amethyst one but it can also have other kinds of crystals inside
Minecraft or Steven Universe definitely did not bring me here, but if I were to guess, something else to do with geodes brought me here. And unlike those previous vids about a 'geode', this one is actually cool.
Is there a way to tell what will be inside a rock before breaking it (without testing chemicals and stuff) or do these people go around, breaking open rocks until they find something pretty?
@@volucrissoul4678 oh, cool! Did you know specifically that it would be amethyst beforehand, or just knew it would likely be hallow and wanted to see what was inside?
@@volucrissoul4678 that sounds really fun. I wish I had those opportunities; exploration has always attracted me, experiencing fun new things especially.
@@volucrissoul4678 I won't buy Mexican Coconuts unless I can see some blue agate showing on the outside. That way I avoid the black druz inside and I know I am getting banded agate with blue quart or amethyst. Ones that have just the tiniest hint of agate showing are more likely to be amethyst than ones with a lot of agate. I also go for a medium density because featherlight geodes usually have thinner walls and smaller crystals. There's no real telling what other mineral formations will be inside.
They range from $10 and up. we sell the ones we crack in our etsy shop. feel free to check us out and let us know if you have any questions. volucrissoul.etsy.com
I've only had a few like this one, and honestly debating on keeping this one. In my shop i have geodes that range from $25 and up. geodes over $35 get free shipping in US. Feel free to check out my shop and let me know if you like anything. volucrissoul.etsy.com
@@volucrissoul4678This is an idea from way outside my knowledge base. I read that a way to tell if a rock is a geode is to tap it on the ground. It should sound and feel hollow if it is a geode. I wonder if you can measure the vibration of that hollow sound to determine the density of the contents inside thus giving you an understanding of whats in it. But then again, at that point it would be more efficient to just break it open. haha Thanks for the response. Cant wait to see more.
