About Ken & Barb's Geode Mine
Western Kentucky's Purchase Area sits over Warsaw Formation limestone that produces excellent calcite and quartz geodes. Several landowners and small operations allow fee access to collect geodes from the residual clay soils. The region also yields celestine (blue strontium sulfate) geodes on occasion — one of the most prized geode varieties in the US. Great family activity.
