New items from our collection added daily. 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 metamorphosed into what we call a geode. They have been waiting to find a home with you! Have fun and enjoy natures beauty. 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 me. Opened geodes or collected opened geodes have been cleaned and are ready for display. Geodes from the Lida Asteria Collection are from the Knobs region of Kentucky. They have been collected from rivers, streams, road cuts, quarries, fields and hillsides. These Geodes were made by nature and each one has its own uniqueness and was formed just as they were meant to. Q&A Frequently ask questions. What is a geode and what to expect from a Kentucky Geode? Kentucky Geodes come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors dependent on the circumstances when the geode was formed. KY Geodes are from sedimentary rock; these geodes were formed when groundwater deposits minerals within cavities in the host rock. When a geode is broken, the minerals inside are revealed. They can be filled or partially filled with minerals. Most geodes are completely filled with minerals; most often quartz, some call them nodules. 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. What is a "rattler" geode? A rattler can have a couple of scenarios, first off there is a semi hollow to hollow cavity in the geode and something is making a noise when the geode is shaken, which can be very soft to loud sounding. It could sound like a tinging, a shaking, or thud. This rattle could be dislodged quartz crystals, decomposed secondary minerals, very rarely water (H2O or enhydro geode) or sometimes a mud ball where the elements have seeped in through a crack in the geode over time. Does the outside color mean the inside crystals will be the same color? Can you tell me what is in my geode? Kentucky geodes come in a variety of Natural colors on the inside as well as the outside. None of our geodes have been dyed or altered. The outside color does not necessarily mean the inside color will be the same, but the chances are increased. For example, red rind geodes do not always produce red crystals. I have seen them with white, clear, red, yellow, lavender, Smoky or orange colors. The same colors can be present in the form of agate chalcedony. If you are looking for a particular combination, then buying opened geodes might be an option, or buying geodes from a particular area that is known to produce that combination. Hall's Gap is Famous for producing Millerite, so the chances of opening up a geode from Hall's gap that has Millerite is incredibly rare nowadays, but still possible. How should I open my geode? If your geode is probably solid or an agate your best option is a lapidary or wet saw with a diamond blade. If it is a rattler or thought to have a cavity it can be cracked opened using a pipe cutter, hammer or other means to give it a natural looking break. It is really up to you, the collector, and what you find aesthetically pleasing. Photo Quality vs. Display Quality Capturing the full beauty of a specimen is nearly impossible; I have done my best to make sure the minerals are accurately represented. Photographs are taken under semi optimum conditions. This includes, custom support stands, and spotlight sources. Shortwave UV light is used for fluorescent specimens. They are photographed from several single points of view. Geodes are often named according to a particular feature or mineral they exhibit or mention where the particular geodes were found. Common informal names for geodes include: quartz geodes, amethyst geodes, agate geodes, enhydro geodes, Oco geodes, Keokuk geodes, coconut geodes, Thunder eggs, break your own geodes, Moroccan geodes, Mexican Geodes, Sonora Geodes etc. We call our geodes, Kentucky Geodes, Kentucky Geode Nodules, Lapidary Geodes, Break your Own Geodes, Geode Rattlers and Kentucky Geode Agates dependent on where they are found in Kentucky and qualities they exhibit. They are all some variety of a geode. Our geodes are Sedimentary type not volcanic. USPS Priority shipping is used for all packages over 16 ounces; Less than 16 ounces USPS First Class is used.
