I understand! I am also a rockhound and disabled. Sometimes I can get out there and hunt rocks and sometimes I can't, but I love these videos!

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.

i have cut about 30-40 geodes or so over the last few years, and i keep coming across this chalky stuff. i was told that its Gypsum. the uncrystallized form of Selenite. going to have to look up this Kaolinite now. thanks for the info.

I just love that sparkley crystal goodness in them! The agate bands really add to the beauty! Simply gorgeous! 😊

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 like the more solid ones when they have some translucency, so you can see into the depth a bit.

What if you tumbled a geode then cut it in half?

You’re right. They are prettier when they’re dry. Then you can really appreciate the SPARKLY crystals 😍

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 😁

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.

Just fascinated by what's inside those rocks. Mother Nature is such a talented artist! Love what you're doing, Mr. ?

Can't wait to see the muddy ones cleaned up! Thank you for sharing these with us!

I looooove geodes! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

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.

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

So very pretty, love sparkly geodes. Thank you for sharing and thank you for maintaining your 'Dad bod' , it is appreciated lol

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

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

I love to watch all your surprise surprise moments, every stone so pretty!

I love the double one in the 4th batch!

Those are all beautiful 😊

BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing!

I liked the geode from the first batch that was fully open. So pretty!

7:16 is sooo cool!! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️

Some of the looked like surprised faces when you turned them around 😮😮. Super beautiful 🎉 as always great video Taylor!

Crap I could sit here and watch the "What's in this rock " Game ...all..... day.........long 😂😂😂 13:29

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

You too!

Gorgeous geodes!!!❤️...on my bucket list to find one👍🏼

The one with the orange in it was really cool.. in the 3rd batch

Try soaking in vinegar. I know soaking shells in vinegar will take the hard outer part off with little hand work involved. Anyone wanting to try this with shell, please research.

All little treasures to open I love it!!🥰♥️✨🙏🏻

Very enjoyable to watch! ❤

I broke my geode by throwing it onto the cement floor in my basement. It’s adorable

I'm a sucker for sparkle!😍

Merry Christmas!!

Those are sweet!

I'm so glad I found this channel. Also happy to see you have a shop on esty. ❤

The agate geode was my favorite!

Ah! I wondered about how they looked...guess I'll have to keep an eye peeled for those when out hounding!

I loved them all thank you

Cool idea. Love it . 😊

Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

New bee - 😊Like your cuts. Learning cutting from you and appreciate the tips.

The double one is cool.

I'm the first ten you cut that last one that was weird looked like a fossil in a geode just imo❤

Just spent a few days in New Mexico at my sisters and we went to rockhound state park and picked up nodules and jasper. I actually brought 32lbs of rocks back on the plane with me hahahaha can't wait to have time for cutting them. Wish I had a cabking! I do need to get a thin blade too though

Cut, cut, cut!,This was lots of fun.

Every time I watch an Agate Dad video..*wish I had a saw*

This looks so fun

Beautiful ❤

Totally thought those were moon rocks from Colorado 😂😂😂

Anyone else love the teeny tiny mini crystal formations

Put the chalky one in a jewelry cleaner! 😊

with the chalk, you might be able to get some vinegar or lemon juice on a q-tip to control the amount of surface exposed...

If it is calcium carbonate, this idea should work really well.

The one side with the agate bands the center looked like a heart with wings.

I just subscribed ❤I live in Stoneham Maine and have been prospecting for years…. Geodes have been on my bucket list to find…. I got a nodule but I have a four in long 1.5 inch wide quartz crystal with a phantoms inside💪 MINING ROCKS….And yes I DID SAY THAT❤ THX FOR YOUR CONTENT

You are just the kind of guy that my dad would love to be friends with

Very nice!

We used to set them in milk cartons filled up with plaster of Paris and cut them that way.

As usual no matter what you say they are all my favorites. I look forward to look at your videos although I don’t know much about them. I just want to hear you laugh. Blessings 🙏🙏👍❤️👋👋👋

I've seen others use muriatic acid. Those are all so beautiful.

Vinegar will clean if it doesn't work out try CLR calcium lime rust cleaner soak them in it...

Thanks!

Thank you so much!!

I liked the butroidal geode so far.

Beautiful👍❤

They look like keokuk geodes. I grew up in keokuk Iowa and have found truck loads of them. 😊

Love them all. Can you find out what the chalky ones are. Let us know. It's so interesting to see.

Thank you for the video. You really love nature. How can you id a geod from any rock and where do you find them?❤

Maybe try some CLR to clean the chalky one? Maybe it's calcium? 🤷‍♀️

Geodes and (thundereggs?)... crystals and agate bands.

The best way to clean the chalky one is to soak in toilet bowl cleaner and then use a toothbrush to get everything out.

I was seeing animals in the last of the geodes you cut..on right hand of agate center, turn around, I saw horse head. Next one you cut..right again, looked like wolf head. I like your hat 😁

I live in Keokuk Iowa. We used to get buckets of gross and crack the. Open. Great fun

Try some CLR on that one with the chalky substance

Awesome

On those that are Chalkyou looking I'm wondering if you could use muratic acid maybe something good could happen.

The geode at 8:14 looks like it has goethite needles in the quartz

We are kindred spirits!

Try muriatic acid on the chalky one

Belíssimos geodos

Pretty babies.

Where did these come from? you cut some nice ones for sure. Tyler knows what that chalky stuff is. I can’t remember what it is called. Starts with a K. I think. I’ve cracked some with it inside. Nice video bud.

We got a natgeo rock tumbler for Christmas. What are your thoughts in running it in an unheated garage this time of year? It's been getting down in temps, below freezing. I told my little one that it might be best to wait until spring or warmer overnight temperatures.

Thought these where moonrocks on the show picture...landed wrong

The geode with yellow, I wonder if that’s Wulfenite? (I don’t have much knowledge of rocks, yet. I’m sincerely asking not stating it’s Wulfenite) So beautiful! I can’t wait see the rest. As always loved your video.

When you say you are looking "in a river in northern Minnesota," are you at the mouth of the river with Lake Superior or further inland? I drive up there from southeast Minnesota as much as I can and spend hours on the lakeshore but fail miserably at finding agates.

The ones with chalk like stuff ,,,, use a toothbrush with baking soda. Or soak in vinegar first.

try CLR on them clean

Nature’s mystery boxes

Does it work well to place them in the ball mill, to get them a good smooth polish on the outside and then cut them in half?

I have a big one that was in an aquarium for a while. What can i use to clean it? It has some algue on it and just overall not clean. Thank you!

Hi! How can you tell that it’ll be a geode or just a normal rock from the outside?

That last geode look like a Fossil. I don't know if it's possible for it to form inside that rock or not

I know which one won't be on the etsy store😂 That one with the orange crystals!
