The Crystal Cave Experience

Reg and I met The 'Empress of Uruguay’

I went to Atherton in the hope of finding The Crystal Caves, it was easy to find, right in the main street and clearly signposted in the main street of Atherton. 
 

The photo below is of Ryn Shell beside the giant geode containing Amethyst crystals which is known as The Empress of Uruguay.

From the Crystal Caves wesite:
​CRACK A GEODE
​The crack a geode experience is a prehistoric lucky dip. You will be the first person to see the crystals that grew inside a volcanic bubble 44 million years ago when you crack open your own geode to keep. Learn to identify the natural crystals inside the geode that you selected with the help of one of our expert staff.
