The larger round diamond blades will cut about 1/3 inch into the rock, which is enough to cut through the shel of smaller geodes. I put the geode into a vice, wrapping the bottom and sides with a bit of rubber mat for padding. This generates quite a bit of dust, so you'll want to wear a mask and safety glasses.

They were so dense that breaking them open with a saw or hitting them was impossible. My little brother put them in a log splitter that applied 20,000 lbs of pressure. We had to leave them in the splitter for several minutes before they eventually broke. One cracked perfectly in half and the another one broke into three pieces, but it worked. I now have beautiful, large geodes to place in my flower garden. It was an unconventional method, but it worked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090178386836922414.post-24065076226706435512011-11-01T18:01:40.909-07:002011-11-01T18:01:40.909-07:00I live in Lawrenceburg, KY.

Is that considered as rutilated quartz. Does it affect the value of the geode.<br /><br />The salesperson said that with the gold lines it makes the crystal more expensive, especially when the geode has an agate surrounding. pls comment.
