About Mind & Trivia
Beneath every hillside and riverbed lies a slow, ancient story written in stone. Granite cooled deep inside the earth millions of years ago, while delicate quartz crystals grew in pockets of pressurized water and mineral-rich fluid. A geode looks plain on the outside — crack it open and you find a hollow lined with sparkling amethyst or calcite, a small wonder that has been forming, unseen, for tens of thousands of years.
