What it is

These are stones close to how they come out of the ground: rough pieces, clusters of points growing together, geodes split open to show the crystals inside, and specimens of a single mineral. Some are coated, dyed or man made, and we say so on each page.

Why people choose it

  • The shape it grew No cutting or polishing, so every piece is different.
  • A piece for the room A geode or a cluster holds a corner of a shelf on its own.
  • Several pieces in one Rough bags and specimen sets give you many stones to arrange.
  • Told as it is Natural, dyed, coated or man made is stated on every page.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Place a cluster or a geode where daylight reaches it

  2. 2

    Keep rough pieces in a bowl, or lay them around a candle or a plant

  3. 3

    Turn a specimen now and then to see a new face

Care: Dust with a soft dry brush. Points and edges break easily, so lift the piece by its base. Keep coated and dyed pieces out of water and strong sun to protect the finish.

About this product

Inside the opened stone
  • The appeal is in the contrast: a plain rock exterior, then a sparkling interior revealed within.
  • Painted purple and gold tones catch on the crystal surfaces, giving the piece a rich, ornamental look.
  • Calcite crystals bring texture rather than perfect points, so the surface feels more clustered and organic.
  • It works well as a display piece on a shelf, desk, altar space or cabinet of collected stones.
  • Each geode is naturally different, so the shape, crystal pattern and colour placement will vary.
Calcite, selenite and painted crystal surfaces

This piece is made from calcite and selenite, with the crystals inside the geode painted in purple and gold. The paint is part of the decorative finish, not the natural colour of the mineral.

Geodes form as hollow stones where crystals grow inward over a very long period of crystallisation. That is what gives them their sense of surprise: the outside gives little away, while the opened interior becomes the focus.

How to display and care for it

Place it somewhere dry and steady, where the opened crystal face can catch the light. Avoid bathrooms, damp rooms and direct contact with water.

Selenite is a soft form of gypsum, so it should not be washed or soaked. Dust it gently with a dry soft cloth or brush, and handle it with care to avoid scratching or flaking.

From Morocco

Morocco is well known for decorative geodes and mineral pieces, often chosen for the contrast between their rough outer stone and bright crystalline centres. This piece sits in that tradition as a display object rather than a polished ornament: still recognisably natural, but given a painted finish for colour and presence. Some collectors prefer untreated minerals, while others enjoy coloured geodes for their sculptural, almost jewel-box quality. Here, the paint is part of the design, and the natural variation is part of the charm.

Natural variation and painted colour

No two geodes open in exactly the same way. The hollow, the crystal growth, the outer rock and the painted pattern will all differ from piece to piece.

The purple and gold colouring is applied to the crystals inside the geode. It should be treated as a decorative painted surface, so keep it dry and avoid rubbing it harshly.

Common questions

Is the purple and gold colour natural?
No. The crystals inside the geode are painted purple and gold as a decorative finish.
Can I keep it in a bathroom?
It is better kept in a dry room. Selenite is sensitive to water and humidity, which can dull or damage the surface over time.
