A special "Thank You" to Darren for inviting me to his home to view and photograph his wonderful Keokuk Geode collection. Darren has been collecting agates, petrified wood, fossils, opals, mineral specimens and geodes for more than 40 years. His collection is loaded with top grade specimens in each of the above rock and mineral categories. His geode display is full of collector specimens from now closed collecting sites. Enjoy!!
