Kentucky Crystals

Kentucky Crystals

South Central Kentucky creek beds are lined with geodes, agates, fossils, and many other interesting geological artifacts. It is my pleasure to put on display some of the most beautiful and interesting specimens I have found. I hope you find them as fascinating as I do.

    Looks more like a jurrasic age fossil fruit with petrified seeds in it.

    if you fill a pair of tube socks with sand and tie off the top and wrap them around to base of the rock, you can hold the rocks a little steadier and put a piece of hard foam rubber under the rock it will be easier to crack

    It depends on the geode. Some are harder than others. On average a couple minutes, but at the extremes a few seconds on the short end and 10 minutes on the long end.

    I have quit a few! What does it mean if they have multi color veins on the outside? And one is perfectly circular! I call it my dinosaur egg! 🦕 I can't bear to break em open!

  • @KentuckyCrystals
    @KentuckyCrystalsАй бұрын

    Multi color veins on the outside is a good indication there may be some banded agate on the inside. If you shake them and you can't hear crystals rattling around on the inside their is no guarantee it will have a hollow cavity; it may or may not. But ... they still may be really beautiful on the inside. Without a cavity they also may be harder to break with a hammer and chisel. I'd say if curiosity hasn't gotten the better of you and you find them beautiful and intriguing as they are enjoy them just that way!
