Color Challenge - Sunday Purple - Colorful Geode

Hi Steem friends,

For my entry into today's colorchallenge, I'm sharing a photo of a neat geode that I own. My parents bought this for me a few years ago while they were vacationing in Spain. As you can see, the innards of this geode are a dark shade of purple.

I've always been fascinated by the idea of geodes and minerals since I was younger. I remember when I was in elementary school, one year for my Birthday I received a rock tumbler which was a fun experience so that I could smooth down all kinds of different rocks.

Upon some additional examination of my geode, I have a feeling that the color may have been exaggerated a little bit. Normally geodes do have some color to them, but usually the color doesn't appear quite as dark or metallic as mine does. My guess is that this geode was likely white when it was initially opened up and then the seller likely used some spray paint to give it the more impressive and interesting color.

Regardless of its legitimacy, it sure does make a nice decoration though!
