First of all a teaser picture of all of them.
I'll post some individual ones later.
I don't know what they all are.
Fortunately we have a trained geologist here at Ozpolitic -
his name is Monk and he will find it easy.

Trump Secures Nifty Geode In Ukrainian Minerals Deal

"Look at this thing. It's fantastic! Wow! A geode!" Trump said as he showed the nifty geode off to Vice President JD Vance. "You think it's going to be all rock and then — wow! — there's crystal inside. Real crystal, JD. Purple and sparkly. Unbelievable!"

The geode, which fits in the palm of Trump's hand, bears a striking resemblance to geodes seen at national park visitor center gift shops or new age stores across the country. But this one is from Ukraine and reportedly cost $174 billion.

"Putin would love to get his hands on this cool little geode," said Trump. "But he can't have it. It's mine. My geode!"

According to sources, the geode has been given a place of honor in the Oval Office where Trump can gaze upon it as he works out more incredible international deals.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev scoffed at the geode, calling it a mere trinket. "Putin has dozens of geodes. Hundreds! This deal means nothing to us."

At publishing time, Russian forces blitzed Kyiv in a concentrated effort to get Putin a shiny new geode.

Estragon: I can’t go on like this.
Vladimir: That’s what you think.

Reply #127 - May 7^th, 2025 at 12:52pm LOL, the high school dropout wants to cast doubt on my qualifications. They are real and hard won enough. The job of a geologist is not that of a mineralogist. Bad luck, cock smoker.

Once again, the testamur of my B.Sc:

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1696301889/168#168

That's the reason we had to interview people who applied for jobs with so called degrees -
many couldn't answer basic questions.
They were caught out - just as Monk has been sprung.
