Rock on!

When the earth was active with roaring volcanos, bubbles became trapped in molten lava.

After the lava cooled, silica and other minerals leached into the hollow cavity and gradually lined the inside with crystals.
Traces of iron and calcium created inclusions in the geode and determined the colour of the geodes.

Our one-of-a-kind Crack a Geode experience is available all day, every day regardless of whether you have been through the museum.
