Some have an iris effect in the banding and some have nice jasper. Thanks for looking. Geoff

I have a bag of small geodes that I want to cut. We hammered a few dozen and decided that the damage is not worth it. Please give me some tips on starting. I need to know what kind of blade to use and if I should pour water while cutting.
Love your pics!
