Isn't it though!

One thing I've used with some success is plumbers putty to fill in some of the gaps and then hot glue the weight to the geode/putty. It really is a time-consuming process to do it correctly.... Oh and another thing I'll sometimes do is cut or grind a little bit off the back of the geode or thunder egg to give it a little bit of a flat surface for the weight to rest on. Let me know if I can help in any other way!

That's what she said 😮

Yes in most cases this is true. In fact I can attest to it in real life, my Dad lost part of one of his fingers to a drill press while wearing gloves. There's two reasons that make it ok in this situation (in my opinion that is): 1) Rock saws don't have jagged teeth like a wood saw that will catch a glove and pull it into the saw. 2) these gloves are thin enough that they would just rip before pulling my fingers into the rotation. Even with the above mitigating circumstances yes in a perfect world I wouldn't be wearing gloves, but as I've mentioned in other posts I work with rocks all day everyday and if I don't wear gloves the rock slurry just dries my hands out until they crack and are incredibly painful. Oh and lastly, if you're not familiar with rock saws the blades are actually smooth metal impregnated with diamond. Meaning that even if my finger did brush up on the blade for a second the worst it would probably do is give me a bad burn (much safer than a wood saw).

Right!?

That's awesome! That phenomenon is called phosphorusence (however you spell that crazy word).

I'd say that Amethyst jumbo would probably be worth $500-$600 to a true collector. Haha but once the collector owned it I doubt they would let go of it for anything less than $3k!

Sorry just saw this! If you don't have a rock saw with a really thin blade my next best advice would be to push them all into some clay or plumbers putty and cut them one at a time with a diamond cut off wheel on a Dremel (spraying with water to keep cool).

@@DustyAtkinson I have a 10” saw. There are thin blades for that ? I’m sorry I’m learning .

@@lorettamartinez2144 yes indeed! Check Kingsley North or Arrowhead lapidary for thin 10" diamond blades. Just make sure you get the proper size arbor for your saw!

@@DustyAtkinson thank you so much! I will get me some today! I’m so excited now! I’ve waited so long to open them! Thank you again !!

Hi there, my recommendation would be a hammer and chisel so you can concentrate the force in one spot. Or you could take it to your local rock shop and see what they say about it. Either way, good luck!

It sounds like a didgeridoo. It's an Australian instrument I think.

Well it was her Geode we were cracking after all...

Years old

Good luck!

We're located in Steamboat Springs, CO and our Lapidary tours are by appt only. However, you can find all our Geodes on our website www.GeodeGuys.com

That was a Mexican Geode from the Last Choyas mines. You can watch other videos of us from that mine on our channel.

Well I guess you would start by listing it somewhere. Perhaps Facebook marketplace would be a good start, it's free and a lot of people will see it.

@DustyAtkinson thank you sir

What's the question now?

Very nice!

@@DustyAtkinson Where do you find it?

@@hamid30nbl that one is a Mexican Geode from Chihuahua, MX.

Huh? Who's Gunther?

@@DustyAtkinson lol it’s from a game called Stardew Valley.

@@HyperionBadger ahhhh I see. Inside joke 👍
