The World's Biggest Geode Is A Literal Cave
Рет қаралды 409,681
Күн бұрынIf you were really into gift shops as a kid, you probably loved to look at all the shiny geodes. But those little geodes are nothing compared to the mother of all geodes, found is in Put In Bay, Ohio. So let's talk about how this geode formed and the gorgeous sky-blue celestine crystals that we find inside it.

Went there years ago with my wife. We spent the day driving around the island on a golf cart, drinking many bottles of wine. We came across this geode that is part of a winery, went for the tour, and was jammed with 30 other tourists in this geode. It was absolutely gorgeous, but hot and cramped. After the tour guide gave his speech, and opened up for questions, my wife immediately asked in a thick Russian accent, “ YES WHEN CAN WE LEAVE “

I heard the SciShow intro and Hank’s voice from the other room and was deeply confused because I’m the SciShow watcher in this house. It turned out to be my 7 year old daughter who shares my KZfaq lol. I’ve watched SciShow for… well, as long as I can remember learning things on the internet, and there’s something special about knowing that my 7 year old will now get to experience that, too. I’d never watched the show with her because she usually isn’t into my infodump types of shows. And despite that, apparently she likes SciShow. Realizing she knows who Hank is when he’s been such an influential part of my own upbringing made me weirdly emotional. Anyway, I just want to say thank you to Hank. For everything. And thank you to the rest of the SciShow team over the years who’ve put so much effort into providing these videos.

I visited South Bass Island and Put-In-Bay in 2023 to check it out. It is definitely super cool, bucket list material! If crystals fascinate you, you will love it. Winery upstairs, gift shop also upstairs. They give tours in regular intervals. Those crystals are not very translucent, but definitely huge, light blue, and many have amazingly sharp edges. I commend the owners for not ripping it apart to sell the crystals, but instead preserving this natural wonder and making it accessible for everyone who can pay to see it.

What defines a geode exactly? Why isn't something like the The Cave of Crystals in Mexico the largest geode? Is a geode a cave but a cave isn't necessarily a geode? Or simply is a geode a type of cave? Also, I've been loving the new sets over the green screen. It feels more like we're sitting down for a conversation rather than sitting down for a lecture and it promotes a comfortable learning environment.

A couple of “crystal caves” at Joplin, Mo. One discovered by 19th century miners “225’ by 55’ by 15’ “ with crystals 2-3 ft around and 3 ft long and was open for visitors from 1908 to sometime in the 1930’s. This cave flooded when mining stopped and the pumps were no longer running. There is another currently operating show cave with the same name in that area that has more traditional formations.

Peter Mungo Jupp explores how some crystals can grow instantly, like petrified and fossilized organisms. I also believe this happens to certain geodes. That’s why some have cymatic patterns in them. It happens when the frequency is locked in while being electrocuted. Fascinating stuff! Jupp points out that when high voltage power lines get juiced by lightning, the surrounding trees will get petrified instantly! 😲

I've been to South Bass Island, but I never knew there was a cave. When I was a kid my Boy Scout troop camped on the island for a few days. One night, the scout master told us a scary story while we were huddled around a camp fire. He told a story about a Native American who lost his head in a battle during the War of 1812. According to legend, whenever there was a lunar eclipse his ghost would go looking for a new head. He ended the story by telling everyone to look up at the night sky. There was no moon. I hid in my tent and did not sleep at all that night....

If you go, go to Kelly's Island also to see the glacial grooves. As a boy scout I got to clean them up every year as a service project. Also been to Put in Bay but it was Christmas in July (huge party weekend foe 40-60 yr olds) and the cave was closed when we went

The workers found the cave not the man who paid them dig. Credit is due to those men.

I've been to Put In Bay, spent 3 days on South Bass Island for my 27th birthday and never knew this was there.

This is where I grew up! Have visited the cave several times, usually on school trips. I can't recommend the wine they make there but the cave is cool.

Went there when I was 13, on the way back the ferry was in a storm and almost went under. The great lakes are no.joke.

When I was in highschool in the 80's, me and some friends thoroughly explored a cave near my house in Tennessee. I discovered a room that was about 4'x4' with about an 8' ceiling. It was like being inside a giant geode. It was full of huge clear and white crystals. At the time I believed it would be wrong to disturb it. If I could go back, I would have mined the hell out of it!!! They have it concreted with rebar over the entrances now. I wish I had at least tried to get some pictures.

Paid for a cave tour here in Arkansas. During the question portion at the end, a gentleman asked how old the cave was. The tour guide lady replied, “it could be as old as six thousand years” My ten-year-old son looked up at me like….”what is going on here!?”….

They still do tours! It includes a tour of the geode and the winery + a sample of one of their wines (or grape juice if you don’t drink). I used to visit every year for the Jr Bay Week regatta.

This crystal cave is something out of an old pirate's tale! "Yarr matey i saw it! A cave full of crystal! I aint remembers wheres it is! I was too drunk! One day my boy i will find it again! You'll help me find it! And we'll be rich!"

Wow, went there on a spontaneous vacation trip back in 2020 and had no idea they had a crystal cave there. It's nice to just drive on a golf car around the island.

Same... It had been too long since I'd gotten my fix. We had gone days without. After just 2 days I broke and had to watch old compilation videos in order to sustain myself throughout the seemingly endless length of the dry period. But we're chillin again now.

I saw it in the 1960’s on a family camping trip to the island. Now I want to return!

there are a couple of caves in the California desert that are wall to wall crystals-it is one of many abandoned mines dug by individuals and then given up-used to dig through the piles of stacked dirt outside the mines to find old bottles-but yeah there are many like the one you describe that are like a giant geodes inside-

As a kid I hated gift shops, a place with so much cool stuff which my parents would never buy for me.
