Johnsfolly Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 On Sunday I took my daughters to the KC renaissance fair. We usually go every year. One of our favorite things is to buy and crack one or more geodes. This year was not an exception. We like to look for the lightest geode in the bunch and look for different coloration on the outside that might give us a clue to what is lying inside. Our experience did not prepare us for the treasure we found this year. This geode cracked with just a slight pop and fortunately we did try to crack it further. The inside is black as night and there are white calcite crystals on top of the black ones making it look like the night sky. I have to say this in one of the coolest geodes were have ever see, let alone owned. So has any one else out there seen a black geode? Any thoughts on what is causing this type of coloration?
