Printable Geode Identification Checklist

This one-page letter-size checklist is for rock collectors, kids, teachers, and anyone sorting through rocks that might be geodes. It asks the simple question, "Is it a geode?" and gives you a quick way to check the rock before you crack it open. The sheet focuses on basic things to look for so you can compare what you have with common geode traits.
