(1) In the extreme and startling contrast between its outer and inner life, it resembles some kind of weird rock or geode that, split open, reveals a spectacular mineral formation.(2) Joy likens the house to a geode , the coarseness of the rough steel exterior contrasting with the refinement of the interior.(3) Do I not take responsibility for my stress when I lift the geode and consciously transform the stress energy into something healthier for my physical body?(4) It is a geode having a small U-shaped cavity crammed with tiny quartz crystals.(5) Mordenite lines most of the geodes as the typical fine hairlike crystals of the species.(6) Two adjacent geodes from the same piece of shale could be cracked open, and one would be lined with brown calcite, the other with quartz.(7) Some visitors gather around the sparkling amethyst geodes or the shining pyrite crystals.(8) It's centered around this hill with all these geodes , and a stone archway at the top.(9) People love to do camping here because of the fascinating aura and to grab 15 pounds of agates, geodes and quartz that anyone can gather and take to home.(10) Most of the thirty-two pages on Moroccan agate are color plates of superb geodes with fantastic patterns and inclusions.(11) Colorless quartz crystals lining geodes have also been found at approximately 300 feet below the trail at the South Overlook locality.(12) They are different from geodes in that they have a solid center, often displaying a great contrast between the rocky shell of brown and the milky white and clear crystal center.(13) Open conduits and caverns, geodic sparite cement and other exotic minerals characterize this phase.(14) He opened one of the largest geodes and gave half to Hart.(15) Some preserve textures reminiscent of the drusy lining of geodic quartz and these textures are thought to be primary and contemporaneous with the hydrothermal alteration.(16) u2018This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,u2019 exclaimed a collector from the Keokuk area who was working beside me splitting geodes out of shale.
