Materials
- Empty eggshells (cleaned and dried)
- Epsom salts or rock salt (easy to find)

Instructions
- Start by preparing your empty eggshells, ensuring they are clean and dry. This holds the foundation for your geode beauty.
- In a bowl, mix Epsom salts or rock salt with food coloring. Aim for a depth of color that resonates with you.
- Add a few drops of water to your mixture. This helps the color develop and offers a smoother texture.
- Prepare your workspace by placing wax paper or a tray beneath your eggshells. This keeps everything tidy and makes for an easier cleanup.
- Gently spoon the colored mixture into the eggshells. Stop when they are about halfway full, allowing space for the layers to build.
- Add layers by introducing additional colors or textures, if you wish. Each layer brings a new surprise to your creation.
- If using glue, a light drizzle over the top can give added shine and help the colors bind beautifully.
- Let your egg geodes dry for several hours or overnight. During this time, notice how they await the final reveal, transforming quietly in anticipation.
