I've been playing around with geode canes and decided to experiment with methods of making the centers look like actual geodes and geode slices. Here are some examples of pieces I made that have actually fooled people who thought they were real. The brown and copper pieces are slices, and the center is transparent. I used a mixture of translucent liquid polymer and Diamond Dust particles to achieve the shine and sparkle of a true geode slice.
The other pieces in browns and blues are formed like geodes from the end of a round rock. The front is flat as though sliced by a saw or sharp blade, and the back is rounded and textured, like the outside of a rock. The centers are not transparent, but are filled with Diamond Dust particles and liquid polymer and small bits of gold or silver mica so they shimmer and sparkle when a light hits them. Super pretty in the sun!
