Discovered in 1960, they are found in shafts that are 100 to 200 feet below the surface. They form in volcanic ash tuff from prehistoric eruptions, where gas bubbles created cavities that were filled over millions of years by mineral-rich groundwater. When opened, they have the possibility of containing clear quartz, smokey quartz, or in rare cases amethyst. Other minerals commonly found include chalcedony (agate) and calcite, along with secondary minerals like goethite, hematite, and mordenite\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fossils for Sale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53155610591516,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/0960\/8988\/files\/www.BuriedHistoryStore.com-Las-Choyas-Unbroken.jpg?v=1760290373"},{"product_id":"unbroken-trancas-geode-3-25-to-3-5","title":"Unbroken Trancas Geodes - 3.25 to 3.5\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eListed here are unbroken Trancas geodes from Chihuahua, Mexico.
