Buy
your geodes directly from the Source!!
We have been mining the Las Choyas Geodes
since 1966 (view Choyas mine
pictures). We also mine the Trancas Geodes.
Gem Center USA Guarantees that these geodes
will have a hollow pocket inside. We also
offer most geodes pre-cracked for a small fee. We use a cast
iron pipe cutter to snap them cleanly in half. If you prefer
you can break your own Geodes using a hammer, Chisel and C
Clamp. Be careful and always use protective eyewear.
Geodes
are said to be formed by bubbles in Lava.
Over time the surrounding Minerals penetrate the bubble
and Crystals begin to form within. The type of crystal
that forms inside of a geode is determined by the
type of Minerals that surrounded it at the time of
its formation. In the case of the Las Choyas Geodes, so many
different types of surrounding Minerals were present
that it is almost impossible to predict what
types of crystals you can find inside. This
is why the Las Choyas Geodes are so entertaining to break
open. It’s a surprise each time! Geodes
are found whole imbedded in some type of volcanic
tuff. |

| These
Geodes come from the Las Choyas Mine
in Chihuahua Mexico. It's a 44 million
year old surprise inside each one! This is one of
the most famous Geodes that comes out of Mexico.
It was originally introduced to the Market as the
Coconut Geode because they look like them. There
are four different primary crystal formations occuring
inside of the Las Choyas Geodes such as Clear Quartz,
Amethyst, Citrene, Ametrine. Secondary crystals
are also in this geode. A secondary Crystal is one
that forms on top of the primary crystals. Some
types of secondary crystals are hematite, clear
calcite, angel wing calcite, pagota calcite, geothite,
mordenite, apatite, galena and many more. These
are geodes for sale. |

Geode comes from the Trancas Mine
in Chihuahua, Mexico. The crystals
inside this geode will glow under a black light.
These geodes are also known as the Chihuahua Geode.
They tend to look like a minature cavern. Stalagetites
and stalagmites are common. The primary Crystal
is white quartz and the Secondaycrystals can be
fluorite, quartz and Calcite. Trancas are great
for Break your Own Geodes. These are geodes for
sale. |
