The Frozen Geode is the geode of the middle floors of The Mines. Cracking one open reveals a single item, most often a mineral, ore or basic resource. Apart from the Omni Geode, it is the only geode that holds Aerinite, Esperite, Fairy Stone, Fluorapatite, Geminite, Ghost Crystal and several other museum minerals. Beyond the museum, it is part of the Field Research Bundle, and Ice Pip ponds, ocean Fish Ponds and the Raccoon all ask for it. Clint opens it for a small fee, or a Geode Crusher does it for free.
The in-game description reads: A blacksmith can break this open for you.
Location
Frozen Geodes drop from rocks on floors 41 to 79 of The Mines. Rocks on the Farm can drop them in Winter. They also turn up in Fishing Treasure Chests, and villagers may give one at the Feast of the Winter Star.
The Hill-top Farm and the Four Corners Farm have small quarries with Frozen Geode Nodes. Breaking a node with a pickaxe gives a Frozen Geode.
An Ice Pip Fish Pond can produce one or five Frozen Geodes once its population reaches nine. At the Desert Festival, Sebastian sells Frozen Geodes for Calico Eggs when he runs a booth.
Prices
An unopened Frozen Geode sells for twice the price of a plain Geode. Cracking it costs 25g at Clint's, and the result can be worth far more. Fairy Stone, Fluorapatite and Ghost Crystal each sell for several times that fee. The Gemologist profession raises the price of the minerals inside, which makes cracking even more worthwhile.
A Frozen Geode gives the same odds whatever the day's luck or any luck buff. A stack can be cracked on any day.
Uses
Clint at the Blacksmith opens Frozen Geodes for 25g each. Clint's Cave Patrol special order unlocks the Geode Crusher recipe, and the crusher then opens geodes at home for free.
Each Frozen Geode mineral has about one chance in thirty to appear. Frozen Tear is twice as likely, at one in sixteen. An artifact, the Ancient Drum, can also come out. Stone, Clay, Coal and ores make up most of the other results. Gold Ore only appears once floor 76 of The Mines has been reached. Before that, Iron Ore takes its place.
The Field Research Bundle on the Bulletin Board needs one Frozen Geode, along with a Purple Mushroom, a Nautilus Shell and a Chub. Completing it rewards a Recycling Machine.
An Ice Pip Fish Pond asks for five Frozen Geodes before it can grow from five fish to seven. Several ocean fish ask for one before their pond grows from three to five. The Raccoon at the Giant Stump can ask for five once his requests reach the later stages.
Putting a Frozen Geode and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes a Blue Hoodie. On its own in the spool, it works as a cyan dye. It also fits the blue dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.
The Community Center asks for Frozen Geode in these bundles.
