@Flocklesscrow @fossilesque or they have a crush for cookies, if you prefer.

Geodes crystallizing for an infinite amount of time will eventually want cookies

This is fluorescence, which turns invisible light into blue light. Like how your teeth and some clothes glow at a rave or glow bowling alley.
