Geodes are used in some pagan rituals and spells for: Divination; Dreams; Fertility; Freedom of spirit; In family magic by mothers; Intensifies psychic abilities; Linking with the cosmic dance; Meditation; Swift labor in childbirth.

On a more practical level, geodes are often used as decorative materials in fish tanks and aquariums, or in small decorative fountains. They have also been used as paperweights, and doorstops. Some individuals even put them in cages with pet snakes, as the rough material is ideal for helping the reptiles 'shed' their skins. Many people simply like having them in their private rock and mineral collections.

How a geode forms in four steps?

A geode forms through a series of four key steps: First, mineral-rich water seeps into cavities in volcanic or sedimentary rock. Second, as the water evaporates, minerals precipitate and deposit onto the cavity walls. Third, these minerals crystallize over time, creating the inner structure of the geode. Finally, the outer shell solidifies, encasing the crystal formation, which can be revealed when the geode is cut open.


How can you tell if a geode is real?

The only way for the average person to tell if a rock is a geode is to crack or saw it open and have a peek inside. Experienced geode hunters will recognize characteristics in the appearance of its exterior, or perhaps notice that it appears to be lighter in weight than similarly sized rocks, indicating that a partial cavity may still exist inside.
