    If you're new to this fascinating art form, let’s learn about the wonders of geodes. Geodes are rocks that are found in volcano beds and are known for their stunning crystal formations. These crystals are visible when the rock is sliced open and are a result of various mineral deposits and light reflections. It's no wonder that geodes have inspired the art world and given birth to the mesmerizing Geode Resin Art.

    While real geodes are hard to come by and quite expensive, the art world has found an alternative. By using epoxy resin along with glitters, decorative gems, stones, glass, paints, and other mixed-media, artists can create the same mesmerizing effects of light, colors, shine, and silkiness in texture. This technique has taken the art world by storm and has become one of the top trending art forms, used to create decorative as well as 3D effects to arts, crafts, and paintings.
