Break Your Own Geode is a fun and educational experience for people of all ages; a great way to learn about geology and the natural formation of crystals. "Break Your Own Geode" is a type of activity or event where participants are given the opportunity to open and discover the crystals inside geodes. Geodes are spherical or oval-shaped rock formations that have a hollow cavity lined with crystals. They can be made of a variety of minerals such as quartz, calcite, and amethyst. The activity is typically done by hitting the geode with a hammer or chisel in a controlled and safe environment. The geode is first examined to determine the best location to strike it, in order to minimize damage to the crystals inside. Once the geode is open, participants can see the crystals inside and take home any pieces they wish to keep. This activity is a fun and educational experience for people of all ages and can be found at rock and mineral shows, science centers, museums, and other venues. It is a great way for people to learn about geology and the natural formation of crystals. Each piece is similar, though no item at Crystal Joys is exactly the same as every item uses a unique stone that is non-fabricated. Every item at Crystal Joys is truly "one of a kind". Slight variations in color, size and bead shape exist.
