Rock and Crystals

Crystal growth within rock
This is another rock I bought from Pam and Dan.  I chose to put it into the rock tumbler since the crystals were protected inside.  Pam told me later that the crystals might get a film on them from the tumbler which would need to be removed to restore their luster.  This one went through only the first stage.  I did not think they looked too badly after only one stage.  Pam suggested that I use wood bleach to clean them.  I just got some at the hardware stove and intend to try it when I have time.  This might be part of a geode, I am not sure.

I am hoping that I can take this rock with me to Lowe-Volk on January 15th to learn what it is.
