From the desk of the product designer:

Behind the design

“Smashing a geode can be really tough even for grownups! To make it easier for little geologists, we cut small slits into the top of the geode so that when they’re hit with a hammer, they easily crack open to reveal the sparkly crystals inside.”

- KiwiCo Product Designer
