Geode is a jigsaw puzzle inspired by the formation of agates, a colorful banded stone. Each computer-generated image represents a slice of an algorithmic geode where each band of growth exhibits slight changes in growth rate, color, and character resulting in a unique pattern. No two puzzles have the same color or shape. Colors are chosen at random.

Laser-cut in a dense maze-like pattern. The extreme intertwining and high piece count make Maze our hardest cut style. The pieces are grown in a simulation of elastic rods. The edges grow, lengthening, until they collide, pushing each other into contorted shapes.

Created by Nervous Systems, a generative design studio in Somerville, MA.

Chloe U. ★★★★★

I usually lose patience with puzzles halfway through, but the way each agate band shifts color kept me hooked for an entire rainy afternoon. Every slice feels genuinely one-of-a-kind, and the gradual reveal is like watching stone form in fast-forward.

Mia ★★★★★

The way each computer-generated slice mimics real agate banding is genuinely mesmerizing, and the subtle color shifts kept pulling me back for "just one more piece." It took me a few evenings to finish, but that final reveal was absolutely worth it.

Isabella S. ★★★★☆

The piece itself is gorgeous—those computer-generated bands look almost like real sliced agate. My only gripe is that a few pieces arrived slightly curled at the edges, though they flattened out fine once assembled.
