You’ll have to look a bit closer at some, ive recently discovered, and proven, that there’s hyalite (water opal) in some of these geodes!

    I think geodes are one of wonders of nature. So plain and unassuming on the outside, cut it open and it's "POW! How do you like me now?" One question, what causes the insides to be such different colors from one another? Is it where they are found and what minerals are around them? Will you be slabbing any of these? Those friends who sent all these are keepers, for sure. Thanks for sharing these beauties.

    here in indiana there are a lot of those geodes .i have cut a few of them some have large points and some small never the same but cool to open.to me most of the ones that are whiter on the out side have the bigger openings in side.love all your show that for making them.

    What saw do you use? Also, how were the huge ones opened up. Doesn’t look like a saw because they are not perfectly smooth. Either way thank you for this video. My daughter and I just found a bunch of geodes a few hours from our house and we want to open them up but not just shatter them into a million pieces.

    Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Question... Is that the standard, relatively thick, blade that came with the Skil saw, or is it a thinner blade? I bought the saw, but have concerns about the blade thickness and the amount of stone I will lose. Looking for a thinner option. Any thoughts? Thank again. Awesome video...
