The program in May will be a DVD recording of a presentation on Keokuk Geodes.
Keokuk Geodes are recognized worldwide for their beauty, size and in some cases complexity of mineralization. Comprised mainly of lustrous quartz crystals, they are some of the world's most beautiful geodes. Secondary formations included calcite, sphalerite, barite, dolomite, iron oxides, "dew drop diamonds," and another dozen or so minerals. But why did they form? And how did they form? These are questions that have intrigued scientists and collectors alike for generations. Join us as we explore some of the mysteries and a lot of the beauty of the famous Keokuk Geodes.
