12-Foot Amethyst Geode Time Lapse

Look what just arrived! This 12-foot-tall sparkling amethyst geode from Uruguay is one of the world’s largest. It was born when molten magma poured from the Earth’s crust 135 million years ago. View it in the Museum’s Grand Gallery through the 2017 holiday season.
