Mystery Geode Rough Cut Half – Amethyst Center with Sun-Lightened Coloration – Old Stock Ochoco Collection
This stunning old stock geode comes from an unknown location. The bed isn’t recognized personally, but the majority of the source collection was Ochoco Mountains material. It has amethyst in the center, though the color appears lightened from sun damage - a known issue with amethyst exposed to UV over time. A really unique old stock specimen from a depleted Oregon collection.
