What Are Geodes?

One of the most exciting hobbies I have is collecting crystals, and this may seem commonplace for many. What is most interesting for me is that I use this in my energy work and now in the medicine card readings I am doing lately to assist those in overcoming mental, physical, and emotional blocks.

Recently, while I was attending a monthly sweat, the Chief took us into a crystal shop and showed us his favorite geode. Geode you might ask, what is that? Well a geode is "a nodule of stone having a cavity lined with crystals or mineral matter."

On the outside it looks like a regular rock, sometimes a very big one and inside is a hidden treasure.

Maybe you have heard of the Empress of Uruguay, the largest known piece of geode amethyst. When looking inside of this magical wonder is like visiting a different planet or world. This amazing amethyst can be found at the Crystal Cave found in Atherton, Australia. When on a visit they even invite people to "crack a geode," what an amazing experience. Too bad I live so far away.

Getting back to the subject of the Chief and his favorite geode -- the reason for this post -- is so I can show you what we saw.

Inside this particular geode was a seven pointed star, and whenever anyone actually gets a chance to see this beauty there is a slight gasp and mouths are usually wide open. It is unlike anything many of us had ever seen. Simply amazing.

When I first took a look and then laid my hands on this geode a poem by Julie Hill Alger came to mind:

Opening the Geode
When the molten earth seethed
in its whirling cauldron
nobody watched the pot
from a tall wooden stool
set out in windy space
beyond flame's reach;

and when the spattering mush
steamed, gurgled, boiled over,
mounded up in smoking hills
no giant mixing spoon
smoothed out the lumps and bubbles
as the pottage cooled to rock.

No kitchen timer ticked
precisely the eons required
to fill the gritty pits
slowly, drop by drop
with layers of glassy salts,
agate, opal, quartz;

no listening ear inclined
over the silicon mold
to hear the chink of crystals
rising geometrically
facet upon facet
in the airless dark.

No hand lifted the stony lid
to add light, the finishing touch,
and no guest cried Ah! how well
the recipe turned out -
until this millennium, today,
at my table.

But, let me show you exactly how this geode was obtained and no one can explain it better than the person who is a caretaker of this gorgeous light of energy.

One thing is for sure is that the owner of this geode is a spunky personality and is such a happy caretaker that you cannot help but love her enthusiasm. Personally, I most likely would feel the same if I had the honor of holding this in my hands every day. Which leads us to what type of energy is emitted from geodes?

Energy Within A Geode

First let me explain how a geode is formed, it is formed by old matter and new matter combining over a long period of time to create a new species. Geodes are most commonly filled with quartz and minerals, and the outward appearance is that of a rock and have a thin outer layer of chalcedony.

If we work with quartz and chalcedony then we know the energy that is emitted while holding unearthed and raw (on its own) are very powerful crystals. So, if we can imagine that when a sleeping closed geode holding these crystals is gently opened, and cared for by a steward (only on occasion), the energy that comes out. Very powerful indeed!

In fact, when I went into the shop with a group of eight Native Americans, all of them started to bless themselves after touching it, it was that powerful. Let me share with you what the caretaker of the geode had to say about the energy.

So, if you ever have a chance to find a cave or rock shop in your area that may have a geode then I highly recommend getting near one to obtain some natural Mother Earth energy, clearing, and blessing. Peace.
