Quartz Geode

Quartz Geode with Sparkling Crystals

Quartz geodes come in a wide variety of different shapes and sizes but this one is particularly interesting because of its shape.  The horn-like cavity is lined with subtle pink coloured quartz crystals which sparkly incessantly as they catch the light.

The word geode refers to a large open rock with a cavity that's lined most commonly with quartz crystals but calcite, pyrite, celestite and opal are also relatively common.  The exterior of the rock is usually chalcedony which is a cryptocrystalline variety of the mineral quartz.

This eye catching quartz geode would make a great addition to any collection of rough or polished rocks and minerals and would also make a wonderfully unique gift.
