**Repaired specimen

 

These unusual geodes from Morocco are like small caves lined with stalactites, botryoidal forms, and swirling agate patterns. While commonly called red chalcedony, I find the color is more orange to red-orange. Hematite causes this coloration, but later phases of growth (“second generation”) don’t contain hematite inclusions. This creates a colorless-to-white growth over the orange chalcedony, which can produce a soft orange-cream druzy coating, or bold Halloween patterns of orange and white stripey stalactites.

This piece of a geode has fat, rounded stalactites with sugary fibrous parallel-growth quartz coating the surface. Spheres of white quartz sprinkle the surface, and there is a large amorphous blob of white radial-growth quartz in the upper right corner. Since chalcedony and quartz are closely related you often see them grow together. They have the same chemical composition (silica) but different crystal structure (cryptocrystalline vs. crystalline).

Where stalactites have broken you can see a pinpoint of a dark, metallic, mineral at the core, surrounded by orange chalcedony, then translucent white chalcedony. The broken ends of stalactites reveal a curiosity: some are hollow, apparently dissolved away. Another is tipped with metallic radial growth.

This specimen has been inexpertly repaired from at least three pieces. The pieces were not reset evenly so cracks may be offset or have wide gaps in places. Dirt was used to "hide" visible glue in the crack near the center of the specimen (you can see the impressions where bubbles have burst from the glue in picture 8). 

 

Repaired: This specimen has been repaired, meaning it broke but someone recompiled and glued it back together. These Moroccan geodes are frequently recompiled and glued together—but this is infrequently disclosed :( Read more about how to detect repairs.

I don't know how often breaks occur due to rough techniques in mining or cracking the geodes open, but I suspect many of the breaks are natural based on how few intact pieces I have ever seen. I have observed many of these geodes have a fairly thin, brittle crust which may make them susceptible to fracturing as part of normal geological processes. I have also seen examples where it appeared iron staining had leaked through the breaks, indicating the cracks occurred well before the specimen was mined.

This is the best nursing bag I've purchased so far
Color: C02- Generic Sunflower, Size: Large
I am one of those nurses that "lives" at work so I bring everything that I might possibly need in a twelve hour shift - including my planners, pens, medications, drinks, and toiletries on top of my usual nursing items. I am usually stumbling into work with multiple bags but this one solved that problem. I got the large bag. I looked at it at first and said, "nah, it's not going to be big enough" but as I opened it and started putting my items inside, I couldn't believe how much it holds. It's good quality and the design is beautiful and not blurry or "fake" looking. There are 6 outside pockets and multiple inside pockets for organization. I prefer the handles over the shoulder strap because it's pretty heavy when I load it up but so fst, seems to be good quality and holds up to my needs. It's not a bad price, either. It's comfortable and well made. I will have to come back and post a picture/video during the day.

This is way bigger than what I thought! I would've gotten a medium just cause I'm not sure it'll fit in my locker but I’ll still use it lol! I absolutely L❤️VE this bag and it is so cuteeee! Im a dental assistant so I got the bag with teeth ✨🦷 I have been carrying a dollar general tote bag for work to carry all my stuff. So this is a major upgrade for my work bag! It’s so spacious with lots of pockets. The material feels thick and durable also. Has purse straps and a shoulder strap so you can carry it different ways.

Overstuffer Approved
Color: B23- Nurse Black With Leopard Embroidery, Size: Medium
I love this bag. At first I didn’t think it would work for me because of the size and feel of the material but it’s actually pretty sturdy. The outside pockets hold my cell phone, beats earphone case, charger, and car keys perfectly. I carry my stethoscope, thermometer, O2 spot checker, etc, notebook, book, my purse, lotion, and wallet inside. The water bottle pocket on the side is deep and snug enough to fit a ninja travel cup. I bought the smaller size and as an overstuffer, it’s spacious & the zipper is flexible so it covers items that may stick out from the top a little. Great bag for nurses!

Very spacious
Color: A29- Nurse Tool, Size: Large
I was looking for a spacious bag to carry all of my school supplies and this one is perfect. It’s able to fit both of my large school books, a 5 subject notebook, multiple pocket folder, notecards box, pencil case and my laptop in an interior padded compartment. The padding is a little thin but none the less I didn’t realize it came with one so that was a bonus. It has 3 pockets inside & 3 deep pocket outside on each side of the bag plus the 2 mesh pockets. As you can see the mesh pocket fits my 40 oz tumbler. With all of my items this bag weighs 24lbs and so far so good the straps feel pretty sturdy/durable.
