      Just watched you cut the first one and wow, not only is there a pocket of lovely geode, but that dark "stick man" running hit my eyes.

    I really wish people wouldn’t dye the inside of these geodes that need no dressing up unless you’re ten years old maybe. Thank you Taylor for sawing these in half!! When I see them smashed with something to break them really look weird.

      I agree. The natural beauty is enough.

    • @unseelie63
      @unseelie63 7 месяцев назад +6

      Agree completely. Dying them makes them look cheap,even fake.Nature provides the beauty,doesn't need any help from us.

    If you don't already, you should take a uv light and shine it on all your rocks. I bought one because I bought aome hyalite opal, but now I use it on all my rocks and so many of them have details that have fluorescence that I didn't expect. You do the best cutting videos by the way

    I agree, stop the geode dying. So many people I've encountered think the dye job is real stone, it gets tiring explaining the dying is for the vanity aspect of the stone and not the admiration of its unenhanced beauty.

    I happen to live near quaint Cedarburg, Wis. (about a half hour north of Milwaukee) where the Gem Shop is located on the main street. If you enjoy a treasure hunt, there is a whole basement and back yard full of rough rock and beautiful polished specimens inside. I am no longer actively collecting, but I love to see what's being
    worked on. The business is well known for its variety and quality.

    Do you ever look at what you cut under uv light, both long and shortwave? Thunder eggs can have some really interesting glow lines.

    I've been rockhounding for most of my life and have just started cutting and working with some of my stones. I get a great kick out of your video. I know I have some top quality stones and can't wait til I have the technique and tools to process them. Any ideas on ways or sources for figuring out what any given stone could be worth?

    The last one was the best, it was beautiful, I love geodes and the others you have on your site to sell, but I will never be able to own one, they are just too much out of my price range, I live on disability so my income is limited, but I love seeing your videos and how beautiful they are inside. I have a couple of geodes and polished ones a friend gave me and one beautiful crystal too. I will be watching more, thanks for putting this here to enjoy, wonderful pieces!!

    @AlaWyrm 8 месяцев назад +1

    I ordered one of these from the Gem Shop last week. The one I got was a huge double geode with both geodes already open and showing on the outside. I am tempted to cut them apart to see if there is any more inside, but I don't want to ruin it. Have you hit yours with a UV light yet? I used my Yooper light flashlight and the botryoidal formation glows bright neon green.

    @LonelyFarmerScythe 7 месяцев назад

    With the first two, I really liked the veins of quartz (quartz, right?). There were a couple of areas that looked like the cut was either across a spot that might have been a forming cavity, or the very tip of a hidden cavity. But, I’m not even close to a rock expert. I agree about the third one. Didn’t find it pretty, personally. The last one was amazing!

    Do you happen to know what the host rock material is? I always wondered if you could dissolve that type of geode in acid to get all the host off and see the crystal shell and how it formed in the host rock. I doubt you could but I can imagine it would look awesome! Anyways, another sweet video man! Keep em coming! 😁
