What Makes It Uncommon

Hard Rock

Beautiful—and fiendishly difficult—these cutting-edge geode puzzles seduce the eyes while challenging the brain. And like real agate, each of these designs (pink, blue, or multi-colored) has a distinct shape, color, and pattern.

The way they're made is inspired by how a geode's crystalline structure is created in nature: a special simulation program develops an image by layering color that radiates from the puzzle's edge; an algorithm generates the puzzle piece patterns; and a computer-guided laser cutter shapes the pieces from birch plywood. We apologize in advance for bending your mind. Made in New York.

For an extra challenge, check out Jessica and Jesse's nebula-inspired Infinite Galaxy Puzzle.

Due to the nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

My daughter is having a hard time with it 🙂

Expected and challenging


I would buy again.

This was bought as a gift. Great quality and is the second one bought, different color. The first one is framed and hanging in our hallway.


Love this - perfect for Puzzle Lovers

We bought as a Christmas gift for friends that love puzzling. We love the quality of this challenging puzzle.


This makes a terrific gift!

What a pleasure to find a unique puzzle! This made the perfect gift for my sister-in-law. Everything from Uncommon Goods always arrives promptly and well-packaged. Look no further for the perfect puzzle for a gift or for yourself.


So satisfying

My partner & i loved putting this together; we completed it in one sitting. Difficult? Yes. Worthy? Absolutely. Expertly crafted and well made; we will purchase more from this artist.


Intricate and Beautiful Texture

Difficult puzzle, but oh so satisfying when you find the right piece.


A must have Geode

I have placed my Geode in a frame and display it on a coffee table.


I would buy this product again. It's very cool.

The puzzle is much smaller than I thought it would be. That being said, it is not cut like a regular jig saw puzzle and it is very challenging. And the compact size is great for travel, like those rainy days on vacation. #sweepstakes


Do not waste your money or your time.

Tried to put it together and failed. Impossible.

Response from merchant

It is challenging! At Uncommon Goods we have a Forever Return Policy should you want to return it and try another puzzle!


Beautiful and unique

My nephew loves puzzles and this one is so different and unique. I found this to be a great change while still giving him something he loves. #sweepstakes

I am interested in the blue puzzle. Is it as pictured on your website or is it as shown on the customer photos? They are very different images.

Verified reply from Katie

Due to the birch plywood materials used to create this piece, each is unique and color may vary.


Hi! I'm considering purchasing this for my dad, but he's older and his dexterity isn't the best. How big are the pieces and are they challenging to handle?

Verified reply from Amy

Hi Meg! These pieces are a bit smaller than average puzzles. We have a lot of excellent puzzles - perhaps one of those would suit his needs better? https://www.uncommongoods.com/search?q=puzzle


My wife has nearly completed her Christmas gift. Its missing one piece. Any suggestions on next steps? FYI, Loved the puzzle and the quality of the pieces, just need one more.

Verified reply from Amy

Hi Dave! We're sorry to hear that you got a defective puzzle. We would be able to process a replacement for you via our Track and Manage page. Follow the prompts under Report a Problem and reach out if you need any further assistance! https://www.uncommongoods.com/orderLookup/orderLookup


'Received this as a gift from my husband. There is one missing piece in the puzzle after we completed putting it together. How do we get this last piece from your company? Do you need a picture of the puzzle? Thanks for your help and such an awesome product!

Verified reply from Allison

How frustrating! Although we cannot send just one piece, we can certainly replace your puzzle! We've reached out to assist you further.


Once put together, would I be able to frame it? Usually I use puzzle glue after it's complete, let it dry then frame them. But considering the quality and material of this puzzle I was wondering if the glue would damage the pieces.

Verified reply from Melody

That's a wonderful idea! It should be fine as long as you don't soak it in glue.


Is the puzzle challenging? My daughter is used to 1000+ pieces... this is less than 200.00.

Verified reply from Leighton

Don't let the low number of pieces fool you - this puzzle is a legitimate head-scratcher! The pieces are laser-cut in a dense, maze-like pattern - the extreme, intertwining shapes ramp up the difficulty on this visually appealing puzzle. Not to mention the added optical illusion brought about by the natural irregularities of the algorithmic geode design. This puzzle is one-of-a-kind and an excellent challenge for dedicated dissectologists!


Can the puzzle be ordered in a larger size by special order?

Verified reply from Melody

It's hard not to want more of this puzzle, but unfortunately, this is the only size we offer.


What is the puzzle made of? Cardboard? Wood? Stone?

Verified reply from Melody

They are made of birch plywood, which are made up of layers of veneer!


There are 3 colors shown in the picture and 4 listed in the item drop down. What is the "one of a kind"?

Verified reply from Melody

We updated our color options to just three: pink, multi, and blue.


Are these returnable? Ordering a few as gifts.

Verified reply from Colleen

Yes, this item is covered by our forever return policy!
