Amethyst Geode Sizes: A Buyer's Guide
Geodes are sized in a few different ways depending on the buyer. Understanding the trade conventions helps you write a request that can actually be matched.
How sizes are described
- By height, for display and cathedral-scale pieces
- By a height range or size band
- By weight, especially for bulk and mixed lots
- By a combination of height, width, and weight
Why weight matters
Geodes are dense, so weight drives both packing and freight cost. A modest height increase can add significant weight, which buyers usually plan for early.
What to specify in a request
- A target height or size band, with an acceptable range
- Whether you need uniformity or accept a mix
- Approximate quantity, by piece count or weight
- Destination, so freight impact can be considered
Natural variation
Two geodes in the same size band can differ in color, crystal coverage, and matrix. Size and appearance should be described separately in any agreement.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a standard geode size scale?
- There is no single universal scale. Buyers and sellers commonly agree a size band for a specific order instead.
- Can I mix sizes in one order?
- Yes, mixed lots are common, especially for resale. Specify the range you want to cover.
