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!

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.

@adamkrosst4717 3 месяца назад

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.

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

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

@sarahstrong7174 3 месяца назад

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

@sarahstrong7174 3 месяца назад

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

@homemodsgarage3401 5 месяцев назад

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.

@lisamills-wv6nc 5 месяцев назад

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

@amybradley2514 2 месяца назад

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.

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

@clannishkobra8965 5 месяцев назад

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.

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.

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.

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

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

@kerivail221 5 месяцев назад

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.

@eileenmcconnell738 4 месяца назад

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

@theawesomeladybird9604 5 месяцев назад

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.

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

@beardymcbeardface69 2 месяца назад

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?

@JnVrockhounding 5 месяцев назад

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.

@jeannenebabor7897 2 месяца назад

My class was given a few of these but I haven’t figured out how to open them. I live in a very small apartment with no access to a saw. Is there another way to open them? Not sure what kind they are.
