58 Rocks, Geodes and More (1/2)

Vy paid the comments no mind as she made her exchange with Mr Roods. She was getting her hopes high as this was just the first of her purchases, there were still more to come! With this success, Vy was particularly excited about her two largest purchases.

The seller and his assistant went onto crack open all the small rocks. Some of them contained rare crystals and gemstones, but none were as good as the Dusk Moon Amethyst. This was within Vy's expectations.

After all, not every single item could turn out to be a priceless gemstone. But with her skills, she was fairly confident about her largest purchases. The crowd that had gathered around them grew in numbers swiftly. The anticipation to see the largest rocks cracked opened was what made them stay.

There were three in total to be opened and when the first one was revealed, everyone looked on in awe. The glittering crystals within the geode were in a light shade of pink, they were rose quartz crystals. It was extremely rare to find such a large deposit of rose quartz crystals; despite them being commonly found.

As such, the rose quartz geode was still highly valued.

Vy turned to Mr Roods, who was deep in thought and asked if he would like to purchase it. There were already other buyers in the crowd waiting to bid for it. Mr Roods was intrigued by the Rose Quartz geode for the crystal was known for its healing properties. Such a large geode could easily be cut to make different pieces of furniture and would for certain fetch a high price.

”That's alright, Miss, you can sell it to someone else,” he declined after much consideration.

Something told him that there were better things to come, and he was not wrong. The bidding for the large rose quartz geode went wild, it was sold for 5 gold coins. Vy then asked the seller to go on and crack open the next rock.

As they cracked it open, the rock cracked in half and reviewed a mixture of colour. It was entirely different from the rest of the geodes they had found. This rock did not have any crystals in it, nor it was empty. The rock had been cut smoothly through, revealing a smooth intersection. The vibrant red and white ring pattern had everyone's attention.

Vy was clueless just like the crowd around her. But she could tell from Mr Rood's expression that he might have the answer.

”Mr Roods, do you happen to know what we are looking at,” she asked politely.

Mr Rood took a closer look, he confirmed his suspicions. For a moment, he wondered if his eyes were tricking him. While he had seen any even larger deposits of geodes and rocks, he had never seen one up close in its raw form.

He turned to Vy and explained, ”I must say, I am quite impressed. This isn't a geode or a crystal. It is a Lava Agate.”
