#KGL 22 - Quartz lined geode with minor iron and Barite with associated host matrix - Nice display Keokuk geode pair/specimen that features some of the host matrix still attached to the geode. The skin is extremely thin on this geode - in some places only 1/4 of an inch thick (it will still ship fine). The iron coloring in the left half adds some color, and a single barite crystal (also in the left half) is also present. Each half of the geode measures 7 x 6 inches with the matrix adding a little more to the size. Price for the pair is $40.00. NOT eligible for flat rate Priority mail shipping - too big to safely pack in a flat rate box. |

#KGL 13 - Very hollow large size matching Keokuk geode pair lined with quartz, and in the bottom of the larger (right half), a rich orange color is present caused by weathered pyrite over time. Despite the size of the geode (larger half is approximately 11 x 9 inches), the skin is at most 3/4 of an inch thick! Some regrowth clear fine drusy quartz is also present in the bottom of the right half. Total weight of the pair is only 19 pounds. Price for the matching pair is $75.00. Hammer not included. |
#KGL 14 - Large very light smoky quartz lined matching Keokuk geode pair. Each half measures approximately 9 x 8 inches with a cavity depth of up to 5 inches, allowing a deep presentation to the set. Total geode weight is approximately 56 pounds. Price for the matching pair is $130.00. Hammer not included. |
#KGL 15 - Large and very hollow matching quartz Keokuk geode pair. The geode is lined with quartz throughout, with some orange iron deposits in the left half (bottom half with respect to gravity when collected). The skin on this geode is only about 1 to 1.25 inches thick around the perimeter. When the geode was opened, a section of the shell of one half broke off, leaving an open void on one side so the geode is not totally complete but still fits back together for about half the distance around the set. Weighs approximately 42 pounds. Price for the matching pair is $175.00. Hammer not included. |
