Iowa - GEODE

Most people have been exposed to Geodes from childhood.  Who doesn’t remember the excitement of taking a hammer to that ugly, boring gray rock just to reveal its inner beauty of sparkling crystals?

The majority of Geodes have quartz crystals in their interior but there can be Amethyst, Jasper and Citrine as well.

Geodes can be found all around the world, mostly located in deserts and volcanic regions.  They are especially plentiful in the U.S. in California, Illinois, Nevada, Arizona, Missouri, Kentucky, Utah, and, of course, Iowa.

A Geode can be good for family harmony by encouraging a willingness to work together.  This can work in family, social & business situations.

Geodes in general are known to have very strong powers.  It is believed that they can help one to see situations from different viewpoints or to see the whole picture when making important decisions.  It is also believed that they can stimulate creativity.

A Geode can help you to remember to do something; exercise, make a call or buy a present.  The trick is to find one that connects to you.

Agate Geodes are especially powerful in alleviating stress, although all Geodes can be good for soothing & de-stressing.  The Geode helps to stimulate positive thought and boost moods.  This sparkling gemstone can help one to deal with difficult memories from the past.

The Geode can aid in the treatment of disorders of the nervous system, hands & lungs.  It can also promote the healing of allergic reactions and control obsessive behavior.

The addition of a Geode to my necklace will encourage me to work well with other and remind me when I forget to do so.

The Geode was designated the official rock of Iowa in 1967 to encourage state tourism.
