What kind of crystals are found in Geodes?
Most geodes contain clear quartz crystals.
How are Igneous rocks made?
Igneous rocks form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
How are Metamorphic rocks made?
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
How are Sedimentary rocks made?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth's surface.
What is the Rock Cycle?
The rock cycle is a process in which rocks are continuously transformed between the three rock types igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

How big can geodes get?
Geodes can get to 26 feet long, 6 feet that means it is the biggest in the world.
Do igneous rocks break easily?
Yes, Igneous rocks are usually hard to break.
Do metamorphic rocks break easily?
Yes, Metamorphic rocks often break easily along foliation planes.
How can you find out if a rock is sedimentary?
One way to tell if a rock sample is sedimentary is to see if it is made from grains.
What is meant by Rock Cycle?
The rock cycle is the process by which rocks of one kind change into rocks of another kind.
Do pink geodes exist?
Yes, Pink Geodes exist they are beautiful spiecimen and perfect.
How can you tell if a rock is igneous?
You can tell rocks are Igneous by the lack of beds, lack of fossils, and lack of rounded grains in igneous rocks, and the presence of igneous textures.
Is metamorphic rocks harder than igneous rocks ?
Metamorphic rocks are harder than igneous rocks.
Why are sedimentary rocks important?
Sedimentary rocks are important because they contain important information about the history of earth.
Why is rock cycle important?
Rock cycle is important because it enables rocks to change to different types of rocks depending on their location and circumstances.
