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!

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
