hey everybody welcome back today we are going to be breaking open geodes and here's a bunch
of the geodes we're going to be breaking open today these ones are from indiana some of these
smaller ones are from illinois and these are the tools we're going to be using to break them open
so let's get started so here's the first one we're going to be cracking open and a few
of these that i have in the pile when you shake them you can hear a rattle some of them you can't
i'm just hoping we get some open cavities with crystals inside let's get started with this one
oh my gosh oh my goodness look at that orange botryoidal some crystal oh yeah it's botryoidal
and some crystals up here that is unbelievable oh that's pretty dark in there get out of here
first crack i thought this was going to be solid for sure oh let's do another one
this is a tough one tough cookie to crack
oh man that's crazy
unbelievable well that one's being kind of difficult it looks like there's a
crack right here so i'm gonna try it on that one instead
that one pretty quick this one's pretty solid you can see there's just a little
little pocket right here that is pretty let's grab uh let's grab
one of the smaller ones all right so here's the smaller ones see if you can hear this
it is rattling so i'm going to be a little a little more gentle with that one
broke open in three spots that is pretty this one is from illinois let's grab another big one
there it goes the crack looks like it's going to be in three segments here
so much quartz in there pretty solid the whole way through
just a little pocket right there well i'm gonna get cracking on a bunch of these here
oh no no folks
look at that i just cracked this open and you can see on the inside of there watch my fingers here
water this was an enhydro geode oh my gosh i can't believe that we just cracked it open
oh oh that is that's a first for me i just cracked it and saw some water
you can see it right there oh my goodness that's actually kind of sad i wish how do you tell
that's insane i'm going to save the rest of them that look like this i'm not going to crack those
open i'm going to polish them and see if we can get more enhydro geodes you know what's funny
is i actually got all these geodes from tyler geode cracker and collector and as i broke that
open i remembered him telling me some of those might be enhydro geodes so be careful with them
so uh definitely wasn't with that one i will be with the rest hopefully we can find one and
again huge thank you to tyler geode cracker and collector for giving me all those awesome geodes
to crack open let me show you a bunch of them that we just cracked alrighty so we cracked open a few
of these right here full of quartz crystals this very sad once was enhydro geode and then some of
these really really beautiful ones they have some pockets going on in there some crystals
some of them like this one right here really beautiful botryoidal formation going on inside
even looks like some potential agetey goodness how pretty is that
i like this guy right here too not a ton going on but a little bit that it does have really
really pretty i think this would be a fun one to try to cut and get a nice face out of it and a
lot of the other ones were completely full so we are gonna move on to these bigger ones here i'm
gonna save these small ones uh don't want to risk any more in hydros well yeah this one i could not
get that one to crack so i'm gonna save this one for my saw we'll crack open these last five here
oh check that out oh man i'm gonna try to break a little bit more off this uh this way hopefully
oh yeah that'll be good look at that
that is so pretty this would be one that i take to my saw and clean this up a little bit and
then get a nice face to polish that is that is sweet nice i did not think it would land there
all right i'm giving up on this one
look at that so pretty
awesome second to last big one here
let's check that out blew out there a little bit
some botryoidal that feels cool sweet let's see if we can crack this uh
this last big one here some of these are so hard to crack and that's why i like cut
them with the saw but having fun breaking these open let's see if we can get this last one here
let's even crack it one more time on this side
there we go that's cool cool little piece there lots of gunk let me go uh i'm gonna
rinse this one off a little bit it's got a sweet cavity run all the way through it
i love that color stained i think that'd be another good one to get some good uh cut faces on
and polish it up i think one of my favorite ones though probably has to be the very first one we
broke open this is so beautiful i love that that is so cool there's a lot of really amazing ones
that we got in this batch love that this right here so cool cool cool cool so even though i have
a 10 inch lapidary saw and i could have easily cut through all those geods sometimes it's really fun
to get back to basics with a hammer and a chisel start breaking open geodes and i had a ton of fun
i hope you did too if you liked the video leave a thumbs up thank you all so much for watching bye
