  • I absolutely love the state of Kentucky and the rich mineral and fossil hunting opportunities that the state offers. We were traveling back to Florida from Michigan and had to spend a day in the state collecting a load of geodes and agates to cut open on the saw. It was a ton of fun, as always and we already cannot wait to get back up here and hunt more!

      @@DarioK04 You can't tell by the colour, they all have spines but the common tends to have more spines than the red, every now and then you'll get one with no spines at all which that one looked like, the only real way to tell them apart is the flowers common has white flowers and red has red flowers hence it's name, also the common is most commonly found in woodland like where they are, however the red is found in parks, gardens, and streets as it is a cross between the common chestnut and red buckeye and is grown in urban areas for it's colourful red flowers.

Also we could plug up your saw to my truck down in the creek and cut at location. Not having to walk back out with buckets of geodes is a game changer.

If you don't want, put it back where you found it and appreciate the contrast that shows us what we do and don't choose... but always choose kindness... yes I believe these stones are alive and concious, and kindness and appreciation specially towards these stones would be lovely.

    Where I live we do not have good geodes ( usually ) , but instead , have paper shell geodes .
    Finding ones that rattle are common , and , occasionally , you find one that floats .
    These also have a sand of floater micro crystals in them and under a microscope , they are gorgeous .

    When I was 11, me and my friend Alex got very into geology. We found big sticks at school during recess and we would dig rocks out of the ground with them, then take them home. One of the rocks we found had a very cool pattern where the top was white and the bottom was black. I thought the white part was calcite so I tried dissolving it in vinegar, but that didn’t work. Me and my dad decided to cut it open and apparently, me and my friend had found a quartz geode at school.

    Me and my dad did that in Tennessee when I was little and it's one of my favorite memories. I still have one geode- even though it does have a hammer smash in the center where I thought I would chisel out individual crystals to give to my friends. Cute idea but I ruined it! 😂30 years later I still have the memory!

    I had a round Geode and when it was cut open it has beautiful Amethyst in it and the opening is heart shaped. One side of it has a rock sticking out of the Amethyst with clear crystals on it.
