Hey, y’all.
A lot of you have asked how to break a geode.
Let me show you. First,
always wear safety glasses.
There are several options.
I use a hammer. Let me show you how I do it.
Find a hard, solid surface.
Find a bag, towel,
anything to wrap your geode in to keep all your pieces together.
Stick your geode inside,
and that’s all it takes.
Some geodes are more dense than others,
so it may take a little more knocking.
Using a hammer gives the more natural broken look
like you would find in nature if they were broken.
Here’s what a few look like that I’ve broken with a hammer.
Another way is to use a hammer and chisel.
You can get a little bit more accurate cut with this.
I’ve never used one before to do it,
but we’ll give it a try.
If you have a natural indentation,
you can tap a line across there to start with,
and that’ll give you a more straight break.
That actually worked better than I thought it would.
Another option is to use a rock or a tile saw.
I don’t have one, so I won’t be doing one like that,
but that gives you a straight,
clean cut.
There’s no way to tell what’s inside these geodes.
And remember,
you’re the first person in millions of years to see what’s inside.
We’ve got two options. Our box of rocks,
which contain four of our extra large Geodes
and our 1 gallon bucket which comes with two extra large geodes,
a polished half and the rest are small to medium geodes.
