Hi all. I got a hold of a couple of nice geodes today at a local rock shop. The owner of the shop was cutting into some of these and after seeing what was inside, I went over and grabbed a couple to see if I could get lucky. Man, did I get lucky! I'll cut into the second one tomorrow and take some pics outside. This first one is awesome. I'm gonna put them on the flat lap and polish the flat surface.

This one is the size of a large grapefruit, or, a coconut! The second one is a little smaller.

Question - how can you stop yourself from cutting the other one after that one?

Only two things are guaranteed to make boys of all ages happy as a Pig in S**t. - playing with fire ( matchbooks, barbecues, fields of gold... it really doesn't matter
- cracking open a geode (no matter what it contains and this one definitely contains the jackpot)
- There may be a third thing but lets keep it clean
Great find...csroc
