About this specimen

Split open and turned to face the room, this geode shows a thick milk-white rind wrapped around a hollow packed with small frosty-white quartz points. The druse throws back a hundred tiny flashes, brightest through the middle where the crystals stand tallest, and the outer wall keeps the smooth banded skin of the chalcedony that lined the cavity first.

Geodes grow inward. A void in the host rock — a gas bubble, or a nodule that dissolved away — fills slowly with silica-bearing water, which lays down a banded chalcedony skin before quartz begins crystallising toward the centre. Growth halts when the space or the supply runs out, which is why the points here are short and blunt rather than long and spear-like. Quartz is Mohs 7 and asks for nothing beyond an occasional dusting.

The geode alone measures 9.4 × 8.4 × 6.9 cm and weighs 385 g; the gold-tone metal cradle shown is included, and the geode lifts straight out of it. Both halves of this listing — stone and stand — are the ones in the photographs.
