I cut open 33 geodes on my lapidary saw and found crystals inside many of them! This cutting session was a blast and I enjoyed cutting and exposing all these beautiful crystals, I hope you all enjoyed it too!

    Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Oh, a slicing video! And geodes at that! You made my day! You rock!!!!

    The white chalky substance is kaolinite, a clay mineral, and is pretty cool. I wouldn't destroy it. The mineral at 7:20 that you didn't know is probably dolomite. Im looking at this on my phone.

    Agate Dad,one more thing, ran a tree lot this past Xmas and spray painted my geods w/acrylic black and gave them out to ppl that bought trees as...lumps of coal- it's fun on Christmas mornings, add a little hammer and it's an hour of fun! Thanx again Agate Dad

    I just love that sparkley crystal goodness in them! The agate bands really add to the beauty! Simply gorgeous! 😊
  • I'd like to see you tumble geodes and then cut them open. That would look cool. Also, you could throw in some solid geodes that you already cut in half. I saw a guy do that and they come out comparable to agates.
  • I absolutely LOVED the one with the peek-a-boo botryodial! That was my favorite 😁
  • @lisakaye3935
    You’re right. They are prettier when they’re dry. Then you can really appreciate the SPARKLY crystals 😍
  • Just fascinated by what's inside those rocks. Mother Nature is such a talented artist! Love what you're doing, Mr. ?

    I love geodes! I have a couple of really cool ones from gem & mineral show where you can pick one and then they split it open for you with that racheting chain splitter. I've been lucky, picking one in particular that has all this wonderful druzy crystal inside, and it's got great depth. Fun watching you cut them.
  • So very pretty, love sparkly geodes. Thank you for sharing and thank you for maintaining your 'Dad bod' , it is appreciated lol
  • Vinegar is your best bet. Lowe's sells 30% which is 5-6 times stronger than the grocery store version I've used it with great results when getting rid of weird or strange mineral deposits that are covering my stones.

    Yo those geodes look NICE! (MERRY CHRISTMAS AGATE DAD AND ROCKHOUNDERS!!)

    I love geodes! I live in Morelia Mexico, but in Taxco, Guerrero (which is famous for its silver) I visited a store that specializes in geodes. That place is amazing!!! I have one geode that is purple inside. Thank you for sharing with us. Greetings from Morelia, Michoacán México

    I broke my geode by throwing it onto the cement floor in my basement. It’s adorable
  • @amandajo1013
    Can't wait to see the muddy ones cleaned up! Thank you for sharing these with us!

    Love the geodes!! I think the white stuff is Kaolinite clay! So cool!!
