GEODES AND GEODE CRACKING

Recently a new exhibit, consisting of geodes found at the Carillo Mine of Mexico, was installed. These geodes were all cracked at the museum. They display the many minerals found in these specimens: quartz crystals: clear, smoky, blue, or amethyst; calcite crystals; hematite hairs; goethite; todorokite; mordenite; or ranceite. Geodes can be found for sale in the Gift Shop area. They are guaranteed to be hollow. Gift certificates are also available.
