Full length video breaking a shaker geode. A shaker is a geode that you can hear the crystals rattling around inside the cavity when you shake it. Formed and found in south central Kentucky.
Thanks 👍 I know there are several limestone formations that are responsible for the plethora of geodes here and I think southern Indiana may share parts of the same formations but I'm not for sure. Have you cracked any open?
@@KentuckyCrystals I did open a bunch. They were all different. Some had clear geometric crystals, some had opaque white or brown globular crystals. It was always a surprise.
if you fill a pair of tube socks with sand and tie off the top and wrap them around to base of the rock, you can hold the rocks a little steadier and put a piece of hard foam rubber under the rock it will be easier to crack
It depends on the geode. Some are harder than others. On average a couple minutes, but at the extremes a few seconds on the short end and 10 minutes on the long end.
