Geodes are rare consumables dropped by Granite-themed enemies with a 5% chance. Geodes can be thrown with the ⚒ Use / Attack button, causing them to drop 2 types of gems on impact with blocks. The amount of gems varies from 3 to 6.

Tips

• On average, the resulting contents of the geode are worth approximately 30 times more than its sell price.
  • This profit can be further increased by converting the contents to Stained Glass, which is worth about 10 times more than the gem ingredients and only requiring the addition of 10 Sand Blocks per gem.
    • However, Diamonds cannot be turned into Stained Glass, and as such, are most profitable being sold directly.
