What the heck are these?

I have a bunch of geodes, and i cannot figure out what i have inside some of them! I have searched and searched, but cannot really find anything that looks like them online. I figured, why not go to the experts! I could simply be searching for the wrong thing, but for the life of me, cant figure it out.  Oh gosh, and forgive me, i am such a ludite, i cant even figure out how to post pictures. Im sorry, please bear with me...

the geodes i have (if thats even what they are) resemble , on the outside , well, petrified dog turds, to be honest. They look like cement. Grey and brown mottled, most of them are relatively round, but can be oblong. None i have found are bigger than a golfball size. Inside, they have this beautiful bright blue stone, but that can even vary from bright blue, to a milky white, to almost clear. It looks like glass. There arent veins of the blue stone that run around the outside of the rocks...um...im not sure what else would help, besides photos, of course. Ill work on that, friends. If anyone can help with the little information i have given, maybe even some suggestions on what i should be looking up, id appreceiate it. 

Again, thanks for your input, sorry, no photos...yet. Winking

one love,
