Description There is a lot going on in there! I don't know all the mineral types in there, so if you know speak up!

It appears to be all quartz, with the red being quartz stained by iron oxide, but without direct examination, it's hard to say with 100% accuracy.

There is also selenite in their, (The plate like crystals) Β they are very soft and brittle.

I got it in wyoming, even though my state, (Iowa) is known for having some of the best geodes in the world!

I think so. They look like other selenite crystals I have.

I saw that! It should be listed as one of the 7 natural wonders of the world in my opinion!
