I thought geode's were the completely round rocks? May be wrong though. Kinda hard to tell from just one angle the whole rock shape.

Nope not completely round or near it. Just do a google image search on geode's and you will see the variety as well as some that look almost identical to the op.

Yeah I did a search, saw some of the varieties. With the resized picture, definitely looks like a geode.

I agree,Quartz.
If it is not Quartz than i think it could be a rock that should be mined.
A friend of mine brought something similar to me and it was small pieces of rock with small diamonds in it that he got from a mine.

Quartz is actually fairly good for striking to make fire.

I used MS Paint in Windows 7, resized by pixels, kept aspect ratio intact and changed to 400 pixels from 1900+ or so pixels.





I'm not a geologist by any means but, I still say some type of quartz. The last one looks like it could be Rose Quartz even.

I would agree with your observation. The difference in color may be because the whiter part of the rock could be a calcite. While I was away you posted better pictures. Yes it appears to be a geode.
