Small geodes are often sliced and polished. Especially nice slices might be displayed “as is” in specially-made frames or stands. Some have their translucent beauty displayed in stained-glass panels or windows like the example photo shown at the top of this page. Less spectacular specimens might be dyed and used to make wind chimes, coasters, or decorative magnets. Small sections of geodes with attractive and colorful crystals are often sawn into small pieces that will stand upright or into slabs that are used as display items.
