Geode Puzzle

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.
