Meet Mr. Muddy: The Rock With An Attitude Problem
Okay, okay… We know what you're thinking—a rock with googly eyes? Not exactly groundbreaking. But hear us out—Mr. Muddy isn’t just any googly-eyed cliché. He’s a one-in-a-million chunk of rainbow flint with a naturally formed geode “mouth” that looks like it's mid-grumble. Picture a tiny cave with opinions and a serious case of R.P.F. (Resting Pebble Face).

We discovered Mr. Muddy while rockhounding at Nethers Farm in Hopewell, Ohio. We bent down to pick up a plain ol’ rock, and BOOM, there he was, glaring at us like we just interrupted his afternoon nap. His jagged little mouth opened just wide enough to shout “Hey! Watch it, human!” without actually making a sound (he’s more of the strong, silent type).
What makes him special—besides his unmistakable attitude—is that he became the heart (and very cranky face) of our little rock shop. Mr. Muddy is our mascot, our boss, and the unofficial spokesperson for all things geode. He doesn’t say much (rocks aren’t known for small talk), but if he did, we’re pretty sure he’d have a lot of snarky wisdom to share… with a touch of hidden sparkle.
So if you see him popping up in videos or giving you the side-eye in photos, just know—he’s not mad at you. He’s just been around for thousands of years and has zero time for nonsense. Unless that nonsense involves rocks. In that case, he’s all in.
