Shaker Geode Breaking No. 4

Full length video breaking a shaker geode. A shaker is a geode that you can hear the crystals rattling around inside the cavity when you shake it. Formed and found in south central Kentucky.

I liked the citrine one you showed. Thank you.

[@KentuckyCrystals]

You’re welcome 😊

[@joeharris2074]

I know a creek in Indiana that’s full of those. Nice video!

[@KentuckyCrystals]

Thanks 👍
I know there are several limestone formations that are responsible for the plethora of geodes here and I think southern Indiana may share parts of the same formations but I'm not for sure.
Have you cracked any open?

[@joeharris2074]

@@KentuckyCrystals I did open a bunch. They were all different. Some had clear geometric crystals, some had opaque white or brown globular crystals. It was always a surprise.

[@KentuckyCrystals]

Indeed, they are always a surprise!

[@billymack8619]

if you fill a pair of tube socks with sand and tie off the top and wrap them around to base of the rock, you can hold the rocks a little steadier and put a piece of hard foam rubber under the rock it will be easier to crack

[@KentuckyCrystals]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@user-wv7ym3ui6c]

i love this video, so satisfying

[@KentuckyCrystals]

Im so glad you liked it!

[@Fambamm-ib6pw]

I wonder what it would look like if you use some sort of rust remover❤

[@KentuckyCrystals]

That's a good idea.
I'll see if I can find something and make another video with the end results. Do you have a recommendation?

[@jamesprentice5503]

Nice,lost mine few years ago to an exgf,lol! No joint custody wanted,whew!

[@KentuckyCrystals]

Had you already broken it open? if so, why didn't you split it?

[@jeffreydumalag159]

good job sir

[@KentuckyCrystals]

Thank you ... but, I'm a woman.

Надо было подождать ещё пару миллионов лет увидел бы красивые кристаллы! Поспешил разрубить наверное руки некуда применить!

[@KentuckyCrystals]

I think the anticipation of what may be inside and the experience of opening them makes the potential disappointment worth while.

[@glenn5903]

How long does it take????😂

[@KentuckyCrystals]

It depends on the geode. Some are harder than others. On average a couple minutes, but at the extremes a few seconds on the short end and 10 minutes on the long end.

[@timstradling7764]

You need some decent tools and support to do this more efficiently. Ask a stonemason for advice .

[@KentuckyCrystals]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I enjoy craking them this way.

[@RoyBritton-kx6pl]

Do you really know,I mean, do you even have a clue as to what you have there.

[@KentuckyCrystals]

I don't understand your question.
Are you referring to the mineral inside of the geode?

[@---115]

Was meinst du denn? What do you think he's got there?
