4About it
A geode is a rock with a hollow inside, lined with crystals. Over a very long time, water full of dissolved minerals seeped into the hollow, and the crystals slowly grew inward from the walls. Amethyst is purple quartz; its color comes from a little iron in the crystal.
The geode starts open. Tap it to close it; tap again and it opens, its halves swing wider, and the crystals glow violet with twinkling tips, then settle. Some amethyst geodes from Brazil and Uruguay are taller than a person. With ✋ Hands-on on, swing the front half open or shut by hand on its hinge; it stays where you leave it, and shut, the two halves fit together.
