Howdy folks, The other day I received a box of geodes from one of our members, azrockgeek. I have some Brenda geodes in my type collection but this variety looks to be something else and man will they make the kiddies happy as they simply love anything that looks like a geode. Going to have to put a new blade on my Workforce so I can split all these open. Anyway, big ole thank you to azrockgeek! Here's a pic of the box o geodes.....Mel

I should post a thank you here as well to Tim, for I also received a box of these guys. Mine, though, is still sitting in my front hallway waiting for me to dig into it. I have enough projects going on, I know if I open this thing, it's going to knock my schedule all to hell as I peruse its contents. Hopefully this weekend I'll make another slot on my specimen shelf for some new additions.
I also owe him a huge thanks for letting us use his excellent Luna NM photos for the SW Agate Index.
Truly, this gift was unexpected and is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lowell

When I dug there, all I found was a few broken ones this size, and a clutch the size of basketballs. Since my rig was half a mile away, I left them in the hole I dug. I probably made someone happy. Woody

I hope you guys enjoy the geodes, especially the kids. I cracked open about ten of them and they were all hollow with druzy crystals some should have amethyst druzy in them.
Woody, you are a wiser man them me, I would have thrown my back out trying to get those basketballs back to my truck.
