Hauser Geode Beds

     Today we went to the Hauser Geode beds to look for agate and geodes. We drove 4 hours to get to Hauser. We saw two other rockhounds (people who dig for precious minerals and fossils). We also saw some amazing desert landscape with cacti and strange plants. Agate is a sparkly mineral that is orange, red, or yellow. If you turn it, it sparkles. To tell what stones are geodes, you must find a stone with greenish, bubble-shaped crystals on the outside then break it open. It will be filled with beautiful agate and quartz crystals. If you look somewhere else, you may find a amethyst geode with purple amethyst crystals inside. NO PICTURES YET.
