Geodes

[ratled]

Hey guys I'm usually over in the gold sections of T Net but I have science teacher who is looking for a good source of reasonable Geodes. Nothing fancy, just something to get the kids excited. What is fair price for basic geodes? Anyone have a good reliable source? Retail or from the guys in the field is fine. Looking for a once a year gig for say 40 geodes.

Anything else I should/need to know?

TIA

I am sure someone might know of a better deal so I wouldn't pull the trigger just yet, but I have been tempted by this kit from Edmund Scientifics. They sell 15 geode kits for $49.95 (~$3.33 per geode). https://www.scientificsonline.com/product/world-s-best-geode-kit

Used to order from Edmund for years(Chem teacher for 30 years). That will be your best bet. I collect geodes and they range from about $2-$3 to thousands for the huge Brazilian ones. Check out Edmunds or hit a rock shop and maybe negotiate a deal...

I know Mama's minerals has a bunch in her store. Good prices too.
