*****Rattling Midwest sedimentary Kentucky Geode.

New items from our collection added daily.Thanks for visiting our Rock Shop, feel free to ask questions or message me to let me know how I can improve your experience or better serve your needs :)We are passionate about geology and have an undeniably strong connection with nature and these wondrous crystal rocks. These grand geodes have endured the test of time through the most cataclysmic events in their lifetime and have metamorphosized into what we call a geode. They have been waiting to find a home with you! Have fun and enjoy natureâs beauty.If you have questions, please ask. We are Rockhounders âamateur geologistâ and do our best to describe our specimens with accuracy. Some of our geodes have multiple minerals in them, which may or may not be listed in the title description. Pictures are taken from several angles for different points of view.To help expand the geographic diversity of your collection, we offer geodes, agates, fossils, and mineral specimens that we have self-collected from the State of Kentucky. Our geodes are natural unaltered formations that have come from various locations in Kentucky. Each location offers a unique particularity. All of the geodes that we sell have gone through a detailed cleaning process by myself. Instructions on cleaning the inside of geodes are provided in every package that contains a whole geode. Some whole geodes may still require additional cleaning once opened. Opened geodes or collected opened geodes are ready for display.Geodes from the Lida Asteria Collection are from the âKnobs regionâ of Kentucky. They have been collected from rivers, streams, road cuts, quarries, fields and hillsides. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the minerals or the quality of minerals found in the unopened geodes. We do our best to pick whole geodes that have "potential". Some are completely full of quartz, some have microcrystalline quartz chalcedony agate and some have hollow cavities or a combination of them all. No one knows what is inside a whole geode or its formations until it is opened :)These Geodes were made by nature and each one has its own uniqueness and w as formed just as they were meant to.We enjoy looking at them through a jewelerâs loupe to see all the hidden treasures and encourage you to do the same. We have 30X 60X LED-magnifying loupes available in our eBay store.âQ&A Frequently ask questions.â What is a geode and what to expect from a Kentucky Geode?âKentucky Geodes come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors dependent on the circumstances when the geode was formed.

The quartz can be massive, crystalline, or layered, which is a variety called agate. Most often, geodes found in Kentucky are lined with quartz crystals. Less common minerals are calcite or dolomite crystals can be found on the inside, either alone or associated with bitumen, barite, baryte, kaolinite, millerite, smithsonite, galena, fluorite, quartz, limonite, sphalerite, pyrite, selenite, or celestite, etc. Several cryptocrystalline (microscopic crystals) varieties of quartz occur in Kentucky. They can be recognized on the basis of their fibrous texture and granularity. The fibrous varieties include chalcedony, agate, onyx, and jasper, and granular varieties include chert and flint.â What is a "rattler" geode?âA rattler can have a couple of scenarios, first off there is a hollow cavity in the geode... read more
