The Geods with an diameter up to 20 cm are embedded in their bedrock. In the cavity of these Geods there are sometimes up to 7 different minerals. Amethysts and quartz cristals stand out amongst them because of their purity and agates because of their nearly geometrical circles of colours. Each cavity of a Geod contains its own special secret of its cristals, which you can explore under the guidance of Paul Fischnaller in the museum and afterwards also at the hunt of the "Geods of Tiso".
