The Geode Guys offer the largest and highest quality geode selection from all over the world. If we don't carry them, it's probably because they don't meet our criteria for high quality geodes.

Geode Guys: Mining Choya Geodes
Переглядів 4632 роки тому
In this video Dusty shows how easily Geodes can be excavated once you've hit the soft money layer (ancient ash tuft). But don't be fooled, removing the 10'-15' Rhyolite overburden layer is no easy task (ie heavy machinery needed). During this trip to the mine two Grandsons (Memo and Hector Carillo) of the original claim owners, act as our tour guides (and lighting crew) in showing what the mini...

Very nice 🎉 beautiful 😍
Isn't it though!
That is such a stunner!
Hey Dusty, awesome video. Only decent one I have seen on how to polish a geode on a vibra-lap. LOTS of fantastic info you provided us with. You make it look so easy! I have had some success from watching this. However, I am having difficulty with something’s still. The weights have been an issue since many Geodes are anything but level to glue them on to. Trying to invent some sort of adjustable “Geode Saddle” but have yet to come with a good prototype. Anyway, REALLY appreciate all your info. Maybe someday you could make more showing troubleshooting ideas for us spastic beginners. Oh yeah…bought all of my Geodes from the Geode Guys, awesome rocks. Will provide pics as soon as I am happy with my polishing techniques.
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!
Very beautiful😍😍 sir I like it very😍 if you are interested in Indian amethyst geoad i am sales natural amethyst geoad and different minerals
Nice piece of agate
Looks like Darth Vader's helmet 😂
That's what she said 😮
That is an awesome rock
Isn’t it super dangerous to wear gloves when working with a circular saw? I heard that if it gets stuck in the saw the damage could be far worse than if you were bare handed. Not meaning to criticise, just worried about you! Stay safe plz :) But otherwise yea that’s a big nodule, beautiful colours too!
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).
Pretty
What a treasure
Go to elephanta caves, in Mumbai , you will get a lot of this in reasonable rate..
Wow 🤩 that is beautiful 💜
Right!?
Gorgeous!!
Gd references omg
Better than vanilla
2 gd refrences bruh
😢😢😢 this makes me very sad and sick feeling. I found a VERY LARGE geode at work and was injured resulting in my loose if employment, and that geode. It weighed probably 30-40lbs....😂😂
does the geode hold a glow green for a couple of seconds after you turn off the black light? I have one that does, but it doesn't glow green under the light. Actually an electric blue under the light, then glows green in the dark. crazy right?
That's awesome! That phenomenon is called phosphorusence (however you spell that crazy word).
Geo- what?
why no one talk about how much the things are worth? ever?
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!
I sell amethyst stones like that 😊
Gorgeous!
Hi I just ordered some tobasco geodes and I have no idea how to open them. Could you give me some ideas
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 !!
I have a 3" diameter ball of stone. I don't know if it is geode? How do i cut it or get it cracked?
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!
Wowsa . A threesa
What the sound in backgroumd that sound like aliens
It sounds like a didgeridoo. It's an Australian instrument I think.

Where this place located?
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
Where was that found
That was a Mexican Geode from the Last Choyas mines. You can watch other videos of us from that mine on our channel.
🇵🇸✊🏼🇧🇩🇵🇸
I have found a geode . How to sale a raw geode sir?
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
