I have zero interest in rocks and geodes, but KZfaq recommended your channel to me and I haven't stopped watching you since. Your excitement and attitude is so infectious and reminds me of the old days of youtube where everyone was just on here to have fun and share what they love. Thank you for the videos.

These all look like what I know as thunder eggs. Geodes should be empty in the middle, with crystals on the walls. The last one looks the most like a geode to me. They’re all gorgeous of course! Rocks! 😍

Agate Dad might be able to help you identify what you have. He's fun to watch as well. I loved the last one. That was my favorite.

I would take a another small thin slice off that one. Open up the pocket.

I love your personality. You’re like an awesome mom and teacher wrapped into one and you get so genuinely excited about rocks. I love it.

I absolutely love how the potential of each rock brings you joy. I wish all of us could live like this, where each day holds hope and happiness.

Some of them look like thunder eggs. I like the last geode. Very pretty and unique.

ooo, that last one was so cool. i've never seen those spaghetti-esque crystals!

The ones you called cold maintain geodes are thundereggs..and there beautiful.. the small ones where soild geodes.. I just found your page the other day and so far I'm loving it.. thanks😊

I totally just bought one of the cloud trances halves. I am SUPER stoked to see it when it arrives!!!

In my opinion, the holes are an invitation! Go on, go in!

I just found you and I love you!!! I paint rocks and I love rocks. You are showing me a different world of rocks!!! I love how excited and cute you are when revealing your cuts!!! Amazing channel!!! Thank you! ❤❤❤

Cut a 1/8” slice off to expose the geode cavity. Great work.

Last two were really beautiful!

I don’t know much about rocks but you give me second hand excitement. I’ve enjoyed learning here ❤

You could always use them as a Rorschach tests for geologists and all other rock hounds😂

Well, everyone has already said below what I was thinking AWESOME videos! Love your quirky joy/love for ALL things rock!

These were pretty cool. Those hollow ones I'd put tiny SMD LED lights in and make them lamps 😮

I'm happy you finally got a agate and it was so unusual. I always say cut, cut, cut so don't ask me. I think they were all beautiful in there own way.😊 😷⚒

Wow, wow, wow! The last one blew me away!! Love them all.

I think you've got some Cold mountain thunder eggs x

Thundereggs....usually have full centers with chalcedony. Yours appear to be jasper. The last one may have a pocket, can you see crystals?

I'd take a thin slice off to see. Sliced are pretty too.

I would just take a slab off that one to open up the cavity. The slab would be great polished or you could make cabs. Don't sleep on the little clear one, see a lot of shadows there, a mirror polish will give it a lot of depth I bet.

Thunder eggs mostly but that last one was my fave and I’m so glad you had one geode. Gorgeous

7:42 That actually looks cool!

Wow!! Funny how a saw can change everything! Great video, thanks for sharing!!

That was a fun set! The last one looks so alien! It was like the geode had tentacles 😅

Wow they are amazing. I’ve only just tonight started watching you and I am so impressed with what you are doing and the quality of what’s inside each one wow.

Your videos are great! I've been tumbling rocks for about 20 yrs. I also love geodes. Seems as a kid we could find them in rural areas. We would get dad's hammer and crack them open. I've purchased tumbling rough from a local shop as well as some eBay and stay sellers and rock shows. I am going to start saving for a slab saw. I am learning so much from your videos. Big thanks!!!

those are some beautiful geodes

I think all the rocks are beautiful. The geodes I buy and have cracked are usually rounder and I found out the lighter weight ones were usually full of beautiful crystals. Love that I came across you! New Subscriber!

pretty stones, even though some of them werent geodes 😊

I’m glad you got one pocket. They were all good though ❤

Those last two r sooo cool xx i wold just face polish them xx you would be so devistated if you cut again and it broke xx nice job x

10:37 You should get a little camera, like the ones for looking in ears, and look inside the the little caves.

These are fun!

I love your channel! I look for rocks everywhere I go. I had no idea my obsession was kinda normal lol 😂

That's wild, the position of the cut on the last one makes it look just like a little mini cave. I could see a miniaturist doing a "Honey, I Shrunk the Spelunkers" scene inside with bitty little LED spotlights. Need the tiniest of periscopes to peer inside. They really do look like their own little worlds. I was thinking about that during the marble video not too long ago since it popped up while I was going down the wiki rabbit hole of all the different moons in the solar system. All these celestial bodies really are some mineral marbles being continuously polished. Even the exteriors of the geodes look like some of those smaller moons and asteroids floating out there. Imagine some surprises inside those too. Now you got me thinking about a floating terrarium-like hollow asteroid that has just enough of everything inside of it and just enough transparency to let some light in for a small ecosystem.

True unrehearsed excitement.

7:37 Looks like a thunderegg with small geode pocket. It also looks like a brecciated agate! They're ALL gorgeous!! SLAB ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️

Beautiful geodes ❤👍👍

Being new to the "rock-thing" when I look up the description of a geode, I found that it must have a cavity on the inside with pretty stuff much different than the outside. I'm thinking that you can't really call it a geode until you crack it open and see what's inside. It almost seems like a scam. The ones without the pocket of fun inside are really something else??? Thank you for opening my eyes to a super neat part of what the earth gives us! Makes me want to go to my nearest home Depot and look at all the rocks in the parking lot!

I love the second to last geode

They got you on most of them but that last one was amazing!!

The second to the last one. Looks like a werewolf. And the other side looks like a bear those are my favorite ones

you should try your ultraviolet light on them

Beautiful rocks

Obsessed with watching you crack rocks! Can I use them as inspo for art?

check rock/geodes for cracks beforehand and put super glue in the cracks. Us ea super glue accelerator.

If you would like to find a geode with a pretty big hallow inside you have to feel how light it is

the one with the white insides remind me of lemon candies

Amazing! So cool!

Don't carve it with a Dremel. Take slices if you feel the need to try to expose pockets.

Cut it now. It’s gonna be amazing you need to see it or else. I am very very excited but do you don’t wanna open it🎉🎉😮😅😅😅😮😅

I believe they are thunder eggs, agate dad does them often ❤

Just cut some thin slices (to keep) off that last one until you open up the pocket. You should get a cool slice or two out of it Getting it where you want it. 😊

I, too, had no interest in geodes and other fascinating rock stuff. I found Ariel and she puts the word agate in Agate Ariel!! LOL

what is a good saw/cutter on a budget??

I loved it🎉

I wonder how could be a rock so pretty

The last one looks like a sleeping dog ❤

I agree with the previous post. If you want to open it up more, just slab it.

Slice about 1/4 to 3/8 in off You keep the bridge and open thecavity

The geodes we opened at a show they did with a chisel and hammer, guess that way they cracked along the weakest line, never seen them cut like you’ve done it. Interesting

According to this video I Bought $281 Worth of Rocks So You Don't Have to! | A Rock-Unboxing that I just watched, they are thunder eggs

Really cool!

Cut some of them down and make some drink coasters until you expose the pockets.

The geodes are absolutely stunning! I do have a geod my self. Its a clear quarts geod. But i NEVER seen that kind of geod with spaggeti crystals😅, but its pretty too! I think if you would chip or cut a bit of that greyesh blue mineral it would uncover a " crystal cave" thats how i call it( its bassicly the crystal inside). Bc it looks shallow on the inside you can test it by shinning a flashlite on the rock❤

Ariel next to last one seen a warewolf on hind legs two arms even see the ears so fascinating so delighted to hear you the last one cut a slab never seen geode form so strange contact Elley knows rocks she is a well known geologist in Arizona thank you enjoy your videos

Geodes are like a box of Cracker Jacks!

Not geodes. You're right! Pockets

Without the hole in it it’s a thunder egg instead of a geode Edit: I think though I might be wrong

Love the last one with the little fossils! So cute and mysterious.

Ok the first one was NOT a geode. It was infact a jasper. So whomever sold it to you was mistaken and I would definitely contact them. **Edit** the 3rd one looks like a Thunderegg.

Shine a UV light on the trancas geodes-they’ll glow green!

The first one looks like a pair of kidneys from a giant. 😂

What blades do you use on your trim saw?

Bastava che tagliassi qualche millimetro p iù a sinistra e non avresti mai scoperto quella fantastica tasca nell'ultimo geode.

The one geo looked like an alien head

How does that saw not hurt your fingers? I read on a different video that it didn't, but it looks so scary 😅 I know about using water and all, but that rotating part? Does it really not hurt if you accidentally get a little too close?

I'll take that 3.rd one🙂

The 3rd geode the right side looked like eyes and nose.

Are we not going to talk about how close her. Fingers are to the saw😂😮😅❤😊🎉

Ive watched several and Im curious... how do you prevent cutting your fingers? It's the only thing makin me nervous here.

Have you ever tumbled a small geode? I thought geodes had pockets in the and filled were called something else with which name eludes me for now. However I could be totally wrong. Nice cuts.

Where is the best place to get goes????

A a couple of the did Nat Geos, you might experiment with trying to dissolve part of the interior with muriatic acid. I’ve seen a couple videos on it. Need to be careful with it though to protect yourself. I’m going to try on some Southern Indiana geodes I got off of Marketplace sometime. A couple were really nice even if not what you were expecting. It would be easier to cut a thin slab off of that last one with a vise and guide so you could see if you could flat polish the thin piece as well.

1:56 looks like a smoked liver same as the 5:18 and the others just look cool

cracking and chipping seems to be pretty common so don't feel too dishearten on your 1st one watched other "geode cutters" dont think thats the right wording 😅 but yeah they always seem to crack or chip off a lil

How do you use the super polishing gel???...do you put water in it???...

Just saw the video about using pebbles instead of ceramic,I have loads of sandstone pebbles,can I use them for stage 1 and 2 ?seems like it might help

💥Amazing 💥 😊

Either make a thine slice or leave it. No drimmel (sp).

This is the second channel I’ve subscribed to that shares this content and I’m wondering why the blade has to be wet to cut the geodes and agates? I used to be so into this type of stuff when I was a little kid yet all the info I learned is just gone from my brain.

What type of lapidary saw would you recommend for someone just beginning?

question- what tumbler do you recommend from amazon on a shiny/best result scale?

10:15 what if you cut a third piece so you had two almost-halves and a slab?

So geode stones that are basically solid on the inside are considered "duds" the more solid it is the more of a dud it is. For a geode that's a "nice piece" or a "good specimen" you're looking for the ones that look like cave walls covered in crystalline formations. Solid geodes though yes are pretty they are still a dud. That's the way i learned about them anyway. Other people may have other things to say about it, but it is what i was taught about them.

Cold mountain are jasper nodules.
