My dad wasn't too happy when I put about 40 pounds of geodes into his 1965 Mustang. The geode you cracked open is exactly like the ones I found. White crystals inside. Was hoping for purple or green. Still cool.

I think geodes are extraordinary.

His boiler maker geode probably contains some surprises too.

It depends on how they look when broken open. Lots of bright shiny crystals and the size of the crystals. Sometimes the color if the crystals increase the value. You should yalk to the local elders or whoever is in charge of the village and see what they think.

@BurninGems

5 жыл бұрын

No, she and her husband bought the whole Geode that was cracked open. (assumin' you mean around @3:14 part) They paid for it before he would crack it. They are cheaper before cracked open because it is a gamble whats in it. This one was a double ($) and on top of that, had the huge calcite crystal in the center of one piece on the bed of quartz ($$)! So if they were to buy the rock after he broke it, he would of charged more because of it being such a nice show specimen. As it was, they probably paid 1/2 or less his retail prices because it was a gamble. (only speculation as I don't recall the amount paid, etc) He knew I was filming it, and wanted to get it on camera for them. So hopefully they eventually found this video i put up of their geode being cracked open. They were very happy and i think came back the following year.

I dont know if that's the oldest, as comets might be older... Lol. I'm under the impressing that the water gets trapped during formation. Formation is in a hard shale layer. No water currently going through the layer where they are found. Other folks seem to think he has to soak them and let the water percolate in. Personally, i have bought some to be opened and like 4 years later when i finally cracked them open, they still had water in them. Didnt see how soaking water would go in but not seep out also.... So i think it is trapped at time of formation. (few million years old they say...)

Best places will vary... These are from Missouri, but there are other places with similar geodes. Mexico has geodes but are usually smaller. Madagascar has smaller also but are very white sparkly crystals that looks like sugar. Those are literally called Madagascar sugar geodes. (Not the confectionary type edible sugar geodes!) And of course Brazil has their famous amethyst geodes or cathedrals. Those from Brazil are in harder rock, so it is so much more work to mine them. These Keokuk Geodes from Missouri are sold by Steve Woodruff from Woodie's Rock Shop. There web address is: www.fabulouskeokukgeodes.com/ I highly recommend a purchase from him and if you find him at a rock show it is so much more entertaining to have it broken open right in front of you!

@BurninGems

5 жыл бұрын

Yes but... If you take a geode to a saw (diamond blade with coolant or at least water feed) then you might cut right through a big crystal and ruin the value or beauty. By using the "soil pipe wrench" the chain wrapped around it has carbide "teeth" that puts pressure in lots of little spots around the geode. Thus the outer rind will crack along the weakest point all along the path of that chain when tightened and then immidiatly slacken to prevent any additional damage unlike if a saw blade continued through. It is also cleaner because no rock bits are washed inside of the geode, less cleanup and not as much damage if there were any delicate crystals. You can also cut around the edge and rotate it so it only cuts a few mm at a time till it is free, but only if they are small. Then also the "fit" still isn't as clean as cracking it is, because the kerth of the saw blade is gone on the edges afterwards. Sorry for the long reply, hope it makes sense!
