A geode is a rounded mineral formation with an exterior shell made of fine-grained quartz and other minerals or crystals lining the interior.


Geodes are mined all around the world and each different type of geode has its own name – just like apples!


At Nature’s Art we have “Choyas”, found in Chihuahua, Mexico; “Thunder Eggs” from the Pacific Northwest; and “Dugways”, mined in southern Utah.
