Its pretend.

This is a pretend geode bead. It took a while to make the bead as there are so many layers to it.
Once it was cold, I could then grind and polish it into the geode you see before you. Its not perfect, being the first time I have tried this, but I am really pleased with it. I'm patting myself on the back actually, and................its been snapped up by a beader friend of mine. Now there's a compliment.
