Dugway geodes, found within the Juab Formation in Utah, are renowned for their diverse and striking forms. These geodes are notable for their open shells, which often have thick walls. The interior surfaces of these shells are typically coated in fine crystals that form on botryoidal, or grape-like, structures.
The specimen features a small opening, chamber extending 1.25 inches into the geode. Microscopic blue druzy quartz sweep across the interior. This quartz exhibits a green glow under long-wave ultraviolet (UV) light, as shown in the accompanying photograph.
Frequently referred to as a "Thunder Egg," this type of geode is obtained directly from miners working in the region.
An acrylic stand is included for displaying this crystal.
