These tiny geodes, usually between 0.5 and 2 cm in size, come from the region near the city of Tabasco in the Mexican state of Zacatecas.\nFormation and composition\nTabasco geodes form in cavities within volcanic rocks, specifically in basaltic flows. Their outer layer is made of agate, while the inner cavity is often filled with small quartz crystals, known as druzy.\nThe color of these geodes can vary, with common shades including red, gray, black, blue, or white.\nHistory and use\nIn the 1970s, Tabasco geodes were very popular in jewelry production, often used as pendants or earrings. Over time, they became rare and almost disappeared from the market.\nIn 2018, new deposits were discovered, leading to their return to the market. The extraction of these geodes is difficult, as they are firmly embedded in hard basaltic rock and must be extracted manually.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PeltramMinerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58027540087109,"sku":"SP\/A015","price":88.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/1659\/2965\/files\/45095_photoroom-001-20250522-103356.jpg?v=1779377182","url":"https:\/\/moldavite.it\/en\/products\/silver-agate-minigeode-earrings-spa015","provider":"Moldavite.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
