A beautiful and hefty white geode set, consisting of two pieces. Sand or desert geodes are inherently fragile due to their mineral composition and environmental conditions. These enchanting geodes feature crystals formed from white aragonite, calcite, and a small amount of quartz minerals, resulting in a lower hardness than pure quartz. The crystals within sand geodes endure intense weathering and erosion, contributing to their delicate nature. Their pure white color is believed to emit cleansing energy.

Please refer to the geode's additional notes below to learn about their delicate mineral composition.

Additional Details

White Moroccan geodes are not typically considered to be quartz. While they can contain quartz, the white appearance in many Moroccan geodes is often due to other minerals.
Some highlights:
Composition: aragonite, calcite, and quartz in a small amount.
Loose aggregation: The crystals within sand geodes can be loosely bonded. Unlike geodes with interlocking quartz crystals, the minerals in these geodes may not be as tightly integrated, leading to a weaker overall structure.
Porosity: Desert geodes can have a high degree of porosity, meaning they contain many small voids or pockets within their structure. This porosity can compromise the geode’s structural integrity, making it more susceptible to breaking apart.
Appearance and texture: Quartz crystals are harder and have a glassy luster. Desert geodes might have a more pearly-like luster and are more flaky and crumble-prone due to their tier degree of porosity.
