*The above chart is based on information collected from many years of geode collecting and with information gathered from long-time local collectors. This is NOT the "Rarity Bible", it's a work in progress that can change. Your place of collecting determines what you're likely to find. If there are any geodes that have been found in the Keokuk area that are not mentioned above, or that can not be covered in a sub-category of the above, please let me know the Type and Rarity and I'll add it to the list. Thank you fellow geode collectors for helping make First Crack Geodes a great site for Keokuk Geodes.
