Keokuk Iowa, and about a 35 mile radius around it is Home, to They ONLY place in the world. Where you can find The KEOKUK GEODE. Famous for it's Sparkling Interiors of some of the most beautiful crystals and minerals to be found in a Geode. Quartz is the main mineral in them, But over 18 additinal minerals have been found in them as well. They are Enveyed by collectors and admired by Tourist. Iowa was so impressed with the sight of the stones that they made it the state Rock in 1967. So when in Iowa make sure to check out Keokuk and see why People love to find what they can't seem to buy.

Yes you have Lake George State park or even Geode State park. I am sure there are many more but those 2 are the most common.
