Sell Price	50g

The Geode is the plain, everyday geode of Stardew Valley. Rocks across the valley and on the upper floors of The Mines drop it from the second day of the game onwards. Cracking one open gives a single item: a mineral, an artifact, ore or a basic resource. It is the main early route to the museum's first minerals, including Alamite, Calcite, Celestine, Granite and Earth Crystal. Fish Ponds and the Raccoon at the Giant Stump also ask for Geodes, so a few are worth keeping whole.

The in-game description reads: A blacksmith can break this open for you.

Location

Breaking rocks with a pickaxe drops Geodes, both above ground and in The Mines. Floors 1 to 39 are the best part of The Mines for them. Rocks start dropping Geodes on the second day of the game.

Duggies drop a Geode about one time in four. Geode Nodes break into Geodes when mined. Fishing Treasure Chests and the Garbage Can outside the museum can hold them too.

A Stonefish Fish Pond can produce one or five Geodes once its population reaches nine. Villagers may give one at the Feast of the Winter Star. On the Beach Farm, Supply Crates may hold a few Geodes before the farmhouse is upgraded.

Prices

An unopened Geode sells for little. Cracking it at Clint costs 25g, and many of the minerals inside sell for several times that. Alamite and Celestine each sell for more than twice the price of the Geode. The Gemologist profession raises the price of every mineral that comes out, which makes cracking even more worthwhile.

A Geode gives the same odds whatever the day's luck or any luck buff. A stack can be opened on any day.

Uses

Clint at the Blacksmith opens Geodes for 25g each. Clint's Cave Patrol special order unlocks the Geode Crusher recipe. The crusher then opens geodes at home for free.

Each plain Geode mineral has about one chance in thirty-two to appear. Earth Crystal is twice as likely, at one in sixteen. The Dwarvish Helm artifact can also come out. Stone, Clay, Coal and ores make up most of the other results. Iron Ore only appears once floor 26 of The Mines has been reached. Before that, Copper Ore takes its place.

A Sunfish Fish Pond asks for two Geodes before it grows from three fish to five. A Stonefish pond asks for five before it grows from five to seven. The Raccoon at the Giant Stump can ask for eight once his requests reach the later stages.

Putting a Geode and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes the Gray Hoodie. Placed in the orange pot at Emily and Haley's house, a Geode counts as a dye.

Crack them first instead. The Wizard likes the minerals inside, and Earth Crystal is liked by most of the town.

Notes

Early in the game, most Geodes are worth taking to Clint, since each new mineral inside is a museum donation. Keep a small stack whole for the Sunfish, Stonefish and Raccoon requests, which ask for up to eight at once.
