A 4-H geology project at the age of 8 started everything for Mike, owner of Geode Gallery. Very supportive parents and connections with a local Geology professor at Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois (near the Keokuk geode beds) also spurred an interest in rocks and geodes at a young age. A $3 Keokuk geode half purchased from a dealer at a local gem/mineral show around the age of 10 started the fascination and intrigue with geodes, and that dealer's words of advice in future meetings and purchases said it all, "if you get into geodes you have to get into it big". With a business background on the paternal side of the family, Geode Gallery was started while Mike was still in high school, and has now grown into a true family business and one of the largest retail geode sellers online and in person at trade shows, with direct connections to all of the mine owners in Mexico, Brazil, and, of course, the Keokuk, Iowa geodes that Geode Gallery has been mining for over 30 years now. The business has been and continues to be built on being honest and transparent, providing the best quality at the lowest price possible, and the best customer service. Over time, the business has also grown into one of the leading direct importers of minerals/crystals and decorator specimens, with a special interest in Indian zeolites that goes back to Mike's obsession with those minerals that developed in high school. Mike says there are many days that work isn't work because he absolutely loves what he does and seeing a new geode for the first time is just as exciting as it was when he opened his first geode all those years ago.

Frequently asked questions
I received a solid geode that was guaranteed hollow per item description. What options do I have?
First of all, we are sorry you received a solid geode. If our listing clearly guarantees the geode or geodes will be hollow and you received a solid geode, we will send you another geode/geodes at no cost. Please do not just leave a negative feedback and never contact us! Instead, please contact us immediately, and we will get a replacement box shipped right out to you. Please note that with geodes, even some that feel light in weight may not be hollow and we do not X-ray the geodes, so every once in a while a solid geode does make it through our sorting process. We are human and do occasionally make mistakes, and admit that we do! Thank you for your understanding.
How fast will you ship my order? How do you ship?
At Geode Gallery, we take great pride in shipping orders out fast, no later than next business day! We ship UPS Ground/Ground Saver, or USPS Ground Advantage for zip codes UPS labels as extended delivery addresses (that they add a surcharge) or PO box addresses. We reserve the right to choose shipping service used. AK/HI/PR orders ship either USPS Priority Mail or UPS 2-Day (larger items). Overnight/2 Day delivery options are available domestically and 1-5 day delivery options internationally through UPS for an additional fee (select when Checking Out). Please contact us with any additional shipping questions. If we are unable to ship your order by the next business day due to travel, vacation, or illness, we will reach out to you!
I had a package that tracking says was delivered but I do not have the package. What happens now?
First of all, we are sorry to hear this. Please review the delivery confirmation picture that UPS provides and confirm it is your address or location. If not or the package is no longer there, then please reach out to us so we can investigate further. Please understand that we are not liable for the package or contents once it leaves our possession, and we may not be able to honor all lost or damaged package claims especially if evidence is lacking or is contradictory to what we and UPS have observed. If a package says it was delivered, a claim is likely not going to be honored. If your package was shipped USPS, please check with your local USPS delivering post office immediately with the tracking number for assistance.
Can I request a certain color in my geode if I request to have my geodes cracked open?
This is a frequent question we receive especially related to the coconut/choyas geodes. We cannot accommodate requests for specific colors or interiors in these geodes since we only open the geodes on demand. If you request to have your geodes cracked open before we ship, we pull geodes from existing whole (rough) geode stock and crack them open on the spot before packing/shipping. It is completely random what you will get just as if you bought the geodes whole and opened them yourself. We have no idea what is in the geodes, either, so it is completely random and that's what makes these so much fun!
Do you ship internationally? Can you provide a shipping estimate?
Yes, we ship internationally to all countries! We ship internationally through UPS services (UPS Standard to Canada/Mexico, and UPS Worldwide Expedited to all other countries). Both services take about a week for delivery, and shipping upgrades are available if you desire delivery even quicker. You must provide at least a valid e-mail address for customs or your package will be delayed both in shipping and delivery! Buyer is responsible for all customs/VAT/duty and we will not adjust content value on invoices/packing sheets. For some countries, UPS will also bill you customs brokerage services. Contact us with questions! We do reserve the right to request additional shipping costs for extended delivery addresses or ship USPS.
Do you have additional pictures/videos or details available for specimens you are selling?
First of all, please review all supplied pictures, video, and read the full item description for each listing. We receive multiple conversation requests with questions that are clearly answered in the full item description to the point that we've needed to add this Question to our FAQ list. If our full item description does not answer your question then please contact us. We may have the ability to supply additional pictures/details but also note that in order to ship same/next day, many items are pre-packaged for immediate shipment. Our pictures, video, and detailed full description should provide enough details for you to feel confident enough about a specimen to make an informed decision. If not, please contact us.
