BK400b This
is a very large, above average quality, set of Dugway Geode bookends.

the Geode cavity measuring 5" x 4 3/4" on each side. A super set that
would make a super gift!! Geodes are geological rock formations which
occur in sedimentary and certain volcanic rocks. They are essentially
rock cavities or vugs with internal Crystal formations or concentric banding.
The exterior is generally Limestone while the interior contains Quartz Crystals
and/or Chalcedony deposits. If the Geode is completely filled with Crystal,
being solid all the way through, it is then called a nodule.
The set weighs 13 lbs. 5 ozs.
