I remember watching a show on the science channel about that one cave full of ridiculously giant crystals once. I was fascinated (yet terrified...cave phobia) by that place so i was researching it and read someone call that place a giant geode. WOULD that giant crystal cave be considered a geode? It would also be cool if you could do a video on that subject sometime!

@GeologyofGemsMinerals6 жыл бұрын
Geodes are a secondary feature (not formed at the same time as the host rock) and typically have a tough exterior "rind," even in the case of Brazil and Uruguay. Basically, you'll get a massive layer of a mineral or mineraloid (quartz, agate, ...) completely enclosing a void. A nodule, or in the case of agate a thunderegg, is similar but completely infilled. A vug is any open space in rock containing crystals; they can be primary or secondary.

@smoreschnapps88683 жыл бұрын
I really love the enthusiasm you have for rocks it definitely makes your videos enjoyable. I hope you keep making more! I do want to help out with some of the facts/science you talk about in this video in an effort to make things more accurate and a bit less confusing. One thing was the discussion of how geodes form in lavas. It was a good description of how geodes can form in basalt and andesite (two different types of lava), but it isn't how geodes form in rhyolitic lava. Another thing was how you said quartz crystals are generally found in igneous rocks whereas silica is found in sedimentary rocks. You sort of treat silica as different from quartz, but quartz is made of silica (silica = silicon + dioxide). Also, quartz crystals are one of the most common crystalline structures found in geodes from sedimentary rocks with good examples being Keokuk Geodes and Moroccan Geodes. Finally, you talk about how a geode is different from a thunderegg. The explanation for how a thunderegg forms wasn't very accurate and the whole "geode vs thunderegg" thing really confuses the relationship between the two. A thunderegg is a specific type of rock whereas a geode is a feature that any type of rock can have, that feature being a hollow interior lined with crystals. Whether the inside of a thunderegg is solid or hollow doesn't change the fact that it's still a thunderegg, so a thunderegg with a crystal-lined hollow interior is a thunderegg that's also a geode. This happens with septarians too. Most septarians (a specific type of rock that forms in sedimentary formations) are completely solid on the inside but some can develop hollow interiors lined with calcite crystals. Paul Colburn wrote a really great book on thundereggs and his theory on how they form. He spent decades digging thundereggs from locations across the western US and has done more to advance our knowledge of thundereggs than anyone else. I would suggest checking it out if you can, it will help with understanding thunderegg formation and also why it's inaccurate to focus on the "geode vs thunderegg" comparison.

I find some nice geodes around where I live. I found a whole one in a rock and cut it out with a grinder, then cut it in half and it has blue-grey layering with a small cluster of glass-clear crystals at the center. The outer shell is very rough and abrasive to the touch, would make a good pumice stone. I have also found fragments of red-white and green-white geodes.

My love for minerals started when I was 9 and my teacher mentioned quartz. My only friend was ill that week so I spent recess looking at different rocks, trying to find some. I read a book on geology, I bought crystals everywhere I could and on a field trip to a museum with a geology room I took several hundred pictures. I stopped obsessing for a while but now it's even worse than before thanks to these videos...

In terms of geode formation, it is not true that it's more likely to get Qtz crystals in igneous rock and microcrystalline silica in sedimentary rocks. Also, only the Brazilian deposit has amethyst geodes. The other localities mentioned did not form in the same way (the amethyst did not form in secondary features like geodes, but in vugs).

My fascination came from climbing a long steep trail in the Cascades and 'steeling' from an old gem claim that I had to bushwhack to. It was a side rout to a mountain i wanted to climb., originally a gold prospectors trail, very steep. The thready barely there trail was known to climbers and listed in an old anglers book (1920ish) but the start from a logging road was deliberately obfuscated. Below a high pass, a faint side trail led along talus and brush down to a small forested lake. Above was another 600 ft side peak: Rock face on one side, crystal rich brown iron oxide containing talus on the other. Quite the steep climb using my ice ax up the duff/moss/needles/dirt to the talus field. Some boulders almost looked like red clay and broke apart easily. I pulled some nice quartz there. The 300 foot open face (I repelled from top) on the other side was partially exposed by mining I think but might have just been there. The rock massif was an intrusion area with small blast caves and natural looking fishers of mixed old sedimentary rock and silica rich volcanic rock and odd voids. The junction held the purple and green geode goods, a lot of color, but surprisingly not much obvious gold. Obviously hot mineral rich water got in there in multiple events to form larger crystals inside voids, then uplift and erosion to expose it, as well as volcanic activity nearby. Cool stuff. edit: Nice video, thanks.

@gems6 жыл бұрын
Hi Nethan! It has everything to do with the pyrophoricity of iron. Iron combines with oxygen very quickly and generates heat when it does so. Rust happens slow enough and over a large enough surface area that the heat is negligible. However, if tiny particles of iron with a larger relative surface area to their mass are exposed to oxygen, they oxidize very quickly and cause enough heat to ignite flammable materials such as tinder or gas. The quartz or flint is used because it is harder than steel and can scrape particles of iron off of the larger mass fine enough to ignite.
