Several months ago I bought my wife Tammy a huge Geode for her birthday.....Finally got it split today.....
She was new at the splitting part (hammer and chisel) but it broke open easily....
So here ya' all go.............She loves it!!!!!!!!!!

Tammy wasn't into rockhounding at all,till I started bring home crystals and Geodes for her... She has been to Glass Buttes,Hampton Buttes,Richardson's Ranch,Polka Dot Mine,Yellowstone River Montana moss agate hounding,fossil hunting,Roy's and Jason's with me,I think she likes rocks now....LOL
PS; She likes fishing and hunting too,heck so do I!!!!!!!!!

But that's OK to feed the addiction.
If you get the right person on your side, then it's hard to lose. Win-win
As far as fishing or hunting goes, well....your never late coming home.

As Crocodile Dundee would say, " Now that's a geode!" Couldn't quite make out what you sad about the source. Is that a Warsaw Formation sedimentary geode? Great crystal center!.....Mel

Very nice, I didn't realize it was video at first and thought you were doing a jamesp and just teasing with a pic of a closed Geode and we had to wait to see the rest. My wife would rather have something from Zales than what I make or bring home....you will ask her how that is working for her...haha |

When she wants earrings and or jewelry made,she goes in our safe,gets a gem out (or two) and says, "Do you know of anyone that can make me this".....LOL Or she heads to a rockhounding store with me and checks out their works..... |
