Lot: 1.25" to 2.5" Sparkling Quartz Geodes - 130 Geodes

This is a wholesale lot of 130 sparkling quartz geodes from Morocco. The geodes range between 1.25" to 2.5" wide, and have been pre-cracked, with the two halves rubber banded together.

The majority of the geodes in the lot are on the smaller side, averaging just over 1.7". This wholesale box weighs just over 16 lbs.

Quartz is the name given to silicon dioxide (SiO2) and is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust. Quartz crystals generally grow in silica-rich environments--usually igneous rocks or hydrothermal environments like geothermal waters--at temperatures between 100°C and 450°C, and usually under very high pressure. In either case, crystals will precipitate as temperatures cool, just as ice gradually forms when water freezes. Quartz veins are formed when open fissures are filled with hot water during the closing stages of mountain formation: these veins can be hundreds of millions of years old.
