Comprised mainly of lustrous quartz crystals, they are some of the world's most beautiful geodes. Secondary formations include calcite, sphalerite, barite, dolomite, iron oxides, "dew drop" diamonds, and another dozen or so minerals. But why did they form? And how did they form? These are questions that have intrigued scientists and collectors alike for generations. Join us as we explore some of the mysteries and a lot of the beauty of the famous Keokuk Geode.
