    This Geode has a very nice interior but is not hollow like most geode I have seen. And this is because it is not a geode but it a thunderegg. Looks like it was polished after being cut open. Anyway the interior does seem to be quite striking. I am sure there is a name for this sort of geode but I do not know what it is.
    I included a 6" ruler in the last photo to show scale.

      That blue is like looking into the night sky, or deep water. Fascinating.

      I think this is so amazing to find such beauty inside of a blob!
    5. fortapache fortapache, 7 years ago
      I just received a tip that this is a thunderegg and not a geode.

      I'd never heard of a Thunderegg. It's amazing to think that mesmerising blue was hidden in that brown lump of rock..
    15. fortapache fortapache, 7 years ago
      Thank you very much Vintagefran. I never had either. Good thing someone thought it was a good idea to cut that rock open.
