Cracking a Large Missouri Geode

- We have a lot of people comment on the fact that we are not wearing safety glasses in this video. 1. We have the towel on it to keep debris from flying. 2. This video was taken in 2014 when we were just starting to take videos and post them online. We were very new at that time and have since learned that wearing safety glasses and leaving the geode uncovered is a much better way to crack them. We definitely believe that safety comes first, please understand that we were still in the learning stages when this video was posted.

Thanks for watching!
5:35, money shot!
Thank ya for looking
Jesus man, put a longer handle on that thing. Lol
Something to consider...
I always believed that they were sawed in half. Wowee opening definitely pleasantly surprised. ❤️
Thanks! We typically do not use a saw because it would cut through any internal mineral extras.
Oh. My. God! That is GORGEOUS!!!!!! It's like Heaven!!!! Stunning!!!! Great work opening it too guys!
Thank you!

we dig them up at one of four places we have. the Geodes for the most part are based on whats inside them for minerals over size.

LOVE the video quality
Yeah, considering the video was taken years ago, it was pretty hi-tech at the time.
This was cool...and very s e c r e t...I love how you blocked the camera for a lot of the set up...brilliant.
I'm not sure how you feel we blocked the camera, but there is nothing secret about what we do or how we do it. We have several videos showing exactly how we do what we do with more to come. Check out our newer videos. Thanks for watching!
the feeling of anticipation when it finally POP'S and then you look inside to see some thing that no one has ever seen before, hoping fot it to be the mother lode of fortune. keep cracking them, one day you will find your fortune.
We've cracked several recently that are amazing. Be sure to check out our newer videos!
Gorgeous!!! What a beauty.
Thank you for watching!
So this is what the trailer park boys have been up to! Seriously though, nice video. Very informative!
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous! What I wouldn't give for a gem like that! Beautiful!
Thanks for watching. If you are interested in purchasing you can email us at woodiessuites@gmail.com or contact us on Facebook @fabulouskeokukgeodes

Biggest geode I’ve ever seen. And badass rock splitting apparatus👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching! Check out our Grandpa Geode video to see a 56-57 lb enhydro we recently opened with the same machine. czcams.com/video/hQr-iDNQ5Wc/video.html
Wow! That’s gorgeous! 😍
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Simply amazing.
I came for the geode itself, but now I find myself interested in the device.
It looks like a soil pipe snapper.
Yes it is
Pipe vice
Yah, me too!
....all this time I thought they r using saw/grinder to cut or open a geode..
=(
@Lucas Stidman where in Missouri can we find the geodes? On our property in the far Northeast corner. Keokuk Geodes can be found in Northeast Missouri, Southeast Iowa, and Western Central Illinois.
woah I did not know we had them in Missouri :0 I need to go look for some
Yés go L
OMG I looove crystals...Cracking geodes are so much exciting

Looks cool!! Use shorter handles so it takes more work!

Thanks!

Great job, guys! All that patience paid off in spades. I'm so glad you put the towels over the geode, but I'd be even happier if y'all had been wearing eye protection, if for no other reason than to discourage amateurs from losing an eye "trying this at home." Beautiful piece!
This video was taken several years ago. We now wear eye protection all the time. Make sure to check out our other videos to see the other beauties we have found.
Another person who thinks they are alone in thinking safety. How about someone watch over your shoulder....check to make sure you water your dog, change your tires, never drive with a chip in your windshield.
Allow people the dignity of SOME expertise in their field of interest
Muy chula la geoda!
Gorgeous!
Thank You!
Beautiful an nice job
Thank you!
Beautiful! That must be at least 2-3 years old.
This is several years old. The quality of video has greatly improved in recent years. Our newer videos look much better! Thanks for watching!

My back hurts just watching this
It can be a back breaking job. But sooo worth the results! We videoed 3 hours of backbreaking work last night that will be uploaded within a few days.
ULTRA COOL!!
Thank you!
What is the name of the tool you are using? I've got a large one I'd like to figure out how to crack it open. Thanks. God bless!
It is a cast iron pipe cutter, sometimes you can rent them from a home improvement store otherwise you can call your local rock and mineral club and see if they know where you can find one or your local plumber. Thanks for watching!
Great Stuff Thankyou!!
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out our newest videos!
You guys rock.
Thanks!
@@WoodiesRockShop I have a quick wit and I love making jokes and well lmao it works.
LOL! do what works! 😂😂😂
@@WoodiesRockShop i was worried that you would be annoyed at me. I’m used to it unfortunately but I am a goofball and proud of it lol.
@@moltres234 no worries! We like to have fun too!
love the T Shirt
Thanks!
I guess that would make you a rock hound nice one!
Rock hound might be an understatement at this point 😊
it's beautiful!!!!
Thank You!
Cast iron pipe cutter
I had no idea we had geodes that big around here tbh 👀 then again I havent really looked into that in years.
That is a really pretty geode
Thank you. Thanks for watching!
Interesting!
Thanks!
I'm 61 now and have been fascinated with geodes and thunder rocks since I was 4. This video was great. What a beauty! Is it just rock the surrounded it that you had to crack? Reminded me cracking a really big, stubborn walnut. I'm going to look to see if you have more updated videos and how your business may have prospered and how techniques have changed. What would the worth of this one be in today's (2019) market?
oh hell, it was your chain! not rock. lol
I'm not sure what we would sell this one for today. We do have many newer videos and keep posting new ones weekly. We still use the same method-cast iron pipe cutter. We also have a very active Facebook @FabulousKeokukGeodes
Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful

what you need to do is cut that handle off on the crank that sticks up weld it back on closer to the middle so then you can slide a metal pipe over the end to do the last few turns a ton easier.
Wow amazing
Thank you! Be sure to check out our newer videos to see the amazing beauties we have found recently!
awesome
Thanks!
Thank u
Thanks for watching!!
Where are your goggles? This is making my eyes wince! At least there was a cloth cover.
They covered it with a towel?
Why do u care if they are or not ?
@@coldfire2935 I care about people doing unsafe stuff that could blind them. I have macular degeneration and I am slowly going blind, so the loss of eyesight is losing something precious.
This video was made when we first started filming geode openings. At the time we used a towel to keep any small pieces from hitting us. If you check out our newer videos you will notice we now wear goggles. Thanks for watching!
Great job.u broke it.

Thank You!
What a treasure!
Thank you!!
Love that shirt great video... Only one way Jesus👍👍
Thank you!
I might want to try my log splitter on that thing.
We've heard people say that. If you try it, let us know how it works! Make sure you wear your safety gear!
It is a cast iron pipe cutter.

Well that was suspenseful, maybe bigger handles would help... ? Enjoyed that thanks.

Where can someone purchase unbroken super sized geodes like this ? Are there wholesalers in the MO/KY areas?
We do not wholesale unopened geodes but we do sell unopen large geodes. All our contact information can be found at www.fabulouskeokukgeodes.com
This vid. Is as interesting as watching water dry

Good adventure hard job beautiful piece but is loosing time no body pays a cent for it!
Thank you. We actually sell our geodes in person and online. Thanks for watching!
You filmed that with an geode too?
What is the name of the tool you used to crack it open? I appreciate you help.
Robert reichelt Its a castiron pip cutter
Called a chase cutter
Chase cutter or chain type copper cutter is different than this. this is for cast iron soil pipe.
it is a cast iron pipe cutter
I recognize it from using one at work. Pipefitter!
Is there any geode place in Australia nsw ?? I might head down to Oberon for some frolicking but idk where I can do geodes.
I don't know that Australia has any geodes. We have some friends who own opal mines in Australia and who sell other rocks from Australia but I have never heard of any geodes from there. Sorry! Thanks for watching, be sure to subscribe to our channel and watch our other videos for more recent finds!
God BLESS NICE GEODE.
Thank you!
Cool

Oh NO guys, someone must have a water jet. Nice.
What was the guy doing behind the rock that made it crack open? Pumping something mysterious!
hydraulic pump tightens the chain
Wow 😮

Other than a doorstop, what good are they?
People use them for many different things. Mostly interior decorating or adding to their rock and mineral collection. Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out our newer videos.
Ok. Thanks.
I love geodes 'cuz they open like a walnut
But the insides aren't as tasty 😂
Thanks for watching!
I have never done this before with rocks
Where do I buy your geode finds at? Do you all have a store or a way of purchasing geodes like these?
All our contact information can be found at www.fabulouskeokukgeodes.com
You ever got any flint or Burlington chert for flint knapping? I buy a lot from other knappers but I'd drive to Missouri for a truckload if you have it t sell
Not by the truckload, sorry. Thanks for asking.
