How To CUT A Geode! | Lapidary for Beginners  

What’s up everyone! My name is Tyler, I'm also known as the Geode Cracker & Collector. Here’s is the second installation of my trio of 'how to open a geode' videos! (The first one is here: • How to CRACK a Geode w... ) This edition is how to cut a geode! And this isn’t specific to geodes, this is for any rocks or minerals you want to cut! (I just like geodes! 😅) This is video with intentions of being an understanding of lapidary for beginners, so it is a bit drawn out. There is geode cutting content after the explanation!
To cut a geode you’ll need a wet tile saw! I use a tile saw that a add a water source to and it and it works fine! I plan to upgrade to the 10” trim saw by Hi-Tech Diamond but until then, this will do!
This is a bit of a longer video but I wanted to touch on all things you’ll need to have and consider before you can cut your own geodes or rocks! Always practice caution when using any type of power tools, and PLEASE use all PPE!
