Bead Geyser

Bead Geyser is a geyser in the Pink Cone Group on Firehole Lake Drive in the Lower Geyser Basin. While not well known, it is one of the most regular geysers in the park.

Eruption Pattern
Before an eruption, water slowly rises within the vent. As soon as it begins to overflow, the eruption begins suddenly. Most eruptions are about 2.5 minutes long, and end abruptly.

Eruptions usually occur every 20-60 minutes.

History
Bead Geyser was named in ___ for the "geyser eggs" - small geyserite spheres - found in its pool. Unfortunately, these geyser eggs were pillaged by park visitors almost as soon as they were discovered.

Before 1938, eruptions of this geyser were apparently rare.
