Hello everyone! For those who don't know me, my name is Kyle Perez. Im 26, autistic and have a strong passion for collecting geodes that come from the Las Choyas geode mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. I love the mystery surrounding geodes and how they form. There are so many different species of minerals that can be found within the geodes. My passion for geodes and mineral collecting in general started with a trip to the Luray caverns in Virginia, USA back in 2014 while coming back from a family trip to Georgia. I immediately fell in love with minerals as soon as I saw some for sale at the rock shop. When I got home, I purchased one of those crack your own geodes kit and I enjoyed seeing what was inside of them. In 2021, I got more serious into collecting geodes and wanted to specialize in collecting them. A Facebook friend of mine referred me to Gem Center USA Wholesale. I had purchased my first 45 pound lot from there and was extremely satisfied. I also bought a soil pipe cutter to crack open the geodes into even halves. I never thought that cracking open geodes would be so fun. I found minerals like quartz, siderite, calcite and more. a lot of my geodes have needle like crystals so therefore, they are not completely identified. Since then, I started cracking open over 150 pounds of geodes. I got about 30 geode pairs in my collection as of today. Cracking open geodes continues to be fun and exciting for me. I personally think geodes are very underrated. I will continue to pursue my hobby in collecting beautiful geodes from Las Choyas. Here are some photos of some of the geodes I have cracked open and are in my collection.
