    Cracking them open is so much fun. Check out the "geodefest" held each year in Keokuk, its a fun time. I just ordered a pipe cutter myself to crack open some geodes I found from there. Great video as usual!

      Same here. Always loved geodes. Fairly ugly, non interesting rocks but ohh what treasures lie inside. Like opening Christmas Presents from Mother Nature.

    Gorgeous geodes! Cutting machine is great as well. Most of geodes are based on quartz with multiple bands of agate.

    @NotAppIicabIe 4 роки тому +3

    Totally impressed with the first one. My gut told me there would be blue to it but I doubted it. And the crystals are so big!!
    Its probably taboo but I cracked my first geode with a hammer, it was a tiny one and its one of those ones with the very small quite crystal I think a druzy quartz?

  • @keithyinger3326
    @keithyinger3326 4 роки тому +1

    Ohhh Pretty! I love geodes. Like opening presents from Mother Nature. I've got 2 i'm going to cut open. Just waiting for the new blade for my slab saw to arrive. Its got a blade but its got a warp in it (I inherited it that way) so it leaves a fairly rough surface and on longer cuts, starts going off at an angle, eventually ending up so far off it cracks off the last bit of the cut :(
    I've always cracked them also, but since i got his slab saw I want to try cutting them so its a smoother surface to polish.

  • @haperawehiwehi8661
    @haperawehiwehi8661 4 роки тому +1

    Being geodes I would suggest that they formed in a rhyolite or other felsic extrusive rock that broke down into clay over time, but the geodes were harder so more resistant to erosion. :)

    Do they grow even when they are open

    • @gems
      @gems  3 роки тому

      Once you take the Geodes out of their Geological enviroment (ground) the conditions for additional growth are no longer available. While they are in the ground they do go through multiple growth phases that can be seen as bands in the material.

    Are geodized fossil shells considered to be gemstones or geodes? Or have any value at all? I know a spot where I find tons of nice ones.
