What is the value of my geode?
The value of geodes vary greatly. Collectors generally pay more than the person buying a geode as a gift. Sometimes larger geodes will fetch a higher price than smaller ones, but not always. Rare geodes, such as ones with millerite, iridescent calcite ( brown, green and black), hematite and large quartz crystals are always sought after and usually bring a higher price. One of the best ways to research value is to visit Ebay and search for geodes. AliCatsRocks has sold geodes in a price range beginning at $3.00 up to $1500.
