A geode is any stone that is hollow with some sort of mineral or crystal on the inside. A geode with a hollow cavity is one of nature’s most spectacular works of art. No two geodes will look exactly alike and until opened, it is a mystery as to what is inside. Cutting and polishing the geode is an 18-hour job as geodes are very hard stones and are difficult to cut and polish. Geodes may be found in the Northwest Territories of Canada as well as several other locations worldwide.
Geodes are believed to have been formed millions of years ago during volcanic eruptions. The volcanic lava flows left cavities filled with gas. As the flows cooled, these cavities allowed for mineral bearing solutions to enter and the combinations of these solutions along with heat, pressure and millions of years allowed the geode to form. Whatever minerals were present in the solutions determined what type of minerals and colors would form on the inside. Geodes will resemble a potato on the outside, the stone must then be cut to see the beautiful crystals and colors inside.
Legends ascribe various potent powers to the geode. It was believed that the geode may increase physical strength and shield one against evil visions. It was also believed that the geode was a good luck charm.
Plating:
Rhodium plated jewellery is made from a base metal alloy that is coated in a thin layer of rhodium for extra strength and luster. Jewellery plated in rhodium is shinier and more durable than other metals. Rhodium plating does not scratch, dent, or corrode and retains its luster (see chain care below).
Gold plated jewellery is made from a base metal alloy that is coated in a thin layer of genuine gold for extra strength and luster. Jewellery plated in gold uses 14 karat or 18 karat gold for a beautiful, shiny luster.

This stone requires special care - exposure to water and other chemicals, such as lotions or perfumes, will damage it over time. If you polish the jewellery, avoid polishing the stone itself. A silver-cleaning dip should never be used with this piece.
Chain care: It is recommended that the chains are not submerged in water or jewellery cleaning chemicals to best protect the finish. Oils in your skin may also wear out the finish over time, so for best long-lasting results, wear the chain over your clothes instead of directly against the skin.
