Breaking OPEN geodes & ENHYDRO geode! (water inside)

We are breaking out the hammer and chisel to crack open a bunch of geodes from Indiana and Illinois and we got SUPER lucky and cracked open an enhydro geode! We saved all the similar geodes so we can try to polish down the husk to make polished enhydro geode balls but we broke open many more that had amazying crystals and botryoidal formations inside! Big thanks to Tyler ‪@GeodeCrackerCollector‬ for gifting us these amazing geodes!

Thanks for watching! Which geode was your favorite??

[@heathervannatter364]

The first and the last are my favs!! Thanks man. Enjoy your weekend

[@wyomingadventures]

I like the first one best. 🧡🤍 Are there in rock shops in your area?

[@priscillaross-fox9407]

I really doubt there are any near me but where are there geodes in Illinois?

[@sharylgrangaard8484]

Watching random dude crack rocks open is strangely satisfying 😌

[@SissyMchill1]

Yes 🙌🏻 and watching him cut rocks, hunt rocks, all the stuff involved with rocks is satisfying. It’s addicting and an obsession. I LOVE it 😍

[@sarahporter9541]

Love it! Always wonder just how old the "water" is inside them....into another world....

[@kpoprak]

Geode takes hundred thousand of years to form

[@dragonback6075]

Geode with water in ... Wow 😲 I never knew that was possible. I wonder if the water has been tested for their content. Fantastic video as always, thank you so much for sharing with us 😊

[@LauraNielson-b3g]

I love how you find happiness in simple simple things like rolling a rock and getting it in the right place! That is a very good talent to have in my opinion!

[@DrJ4712]

I would love to study that water from the geode under a microscope!🧐❤

[@blindsquirrelrocks]

Hammer and chisel pretty much sums up my heavy lapidary tool kit! Swing away!!

[@JhonDiamond2021]

What an extraordinary finding my friend, you are very professional in finding quality stones, the stones you find have good crystals, greetings from Indonesian Agate seekers.

[@taliboo78]

You need some Dugway geodes!!! They are so beautiful!

[@gregderksen1996]

yeah there’s something about just hitting away with a hammer and chisel. my niece and nephew love it! got a few on my hunts with Tyler though that definitely are going on the saw. good luck finding another enhydro!!

[@MNpicker]

That was awesome!! I had a cracking good time 🤓

[@timpaxew712]

The geodes that are completely filled in without a hollow have some very pretty patterns when you polish them, personally I love tumbling them

[@susangingrich2591]

First geode was my favorite. All of them were exciting! Really no way to know if there is water inside unlike enhydro clear quartz crystals or Herkimer diamonds! Went Herkimer diamond mining recently. Would recommend that experience to all rock lovers.

[@audraacklin9826]

The first one and the third to the last were my favorite. 😁❤️

[@offyarocka]

Hammer time woooot!!!!! That first orange one was pretty awesome

[@AgateDad]

I agree 🙌

[@E.o.t.4637]

Umm... 🤔 ALL of them!!! But the 1st was pretty cool and the 2nd 3rd lol 😁

[@GeodeCrackerCollector]

Dude that perfect roll! 🤣 sorry a couple were stinkers! Make sure you check them out with the uv light too 😎🔥 especially the ones from Illinois!

[@aaronkling8670]

I have a polished enhydro agate! It's my favorite rock in my collection.

[@geosobservations9496]

SOOOO COOOL 🤩 Thanks AD and GCC... loving it 😃

[@nadasasa6570]

All of them. i love each one . thanks a lot

[@monicaagee2716]

If you ever head to Kentucky south of Louisville, we live by a creek that has some of the most beautiful geodes around. You never know what it will have in them. Would love to take you there. Not to mention the fossils you can find and other minerals. Lots of different color chert too.

[@annes4213]

Rock on 🤘

[@largent45]

That first one was my favorite one! That cool botryoidal formation! It will probably clean up with iron out, but i think that one looks cool orange! And a few of the others that had the pockets inside, they will clean up in iron out as well but some of it, the brown mineral isnt iron staining. It is a secondary barite formation over the botryoidal chalcedony so the brown wont come off. Its too bad about the enhydro geode! They are so cool and they look really cool polished so you can see the water inside through the geode crust! But maybe some of the one you have left are enhydros! Those really hard to break ones that were solid are geodized fossils. I recognized them from the box of them that tyler sent me! They arent really very geodized though. They are often solid with crystals, but i think would be super cool to cut and polish so you can see the crystal habits as they formed together, and the outside, when held together, can see the fossilized crinoid calyx, or brachiopod, that it was at one time! Ive got several crinoid calyx in my lot of goodies that tyler sent, and once you get the idea of their shapes, you can see a lot are actually geodized fossils! which even when filled with crystalization, is pretty darn cool that they were once an sea animal that died and was thoroughly replaced with crystalization! Tyler has told us what meeting up with you has meant, as you were one of his biggest influences for his channel. And now, his channel has just taken off, as yours did for you, and i couldnt be happier for you both!

[@Downeastwaves]

That was fun!

[@GeodeCrackerCollector]

That first one one will clean up real nice in iron out!

[@LoveRemains]

I feel like maybe next time when someone tells you that there may be enhydro geodes in your batch you should just cut them open instead of somewhat exploding them into many pieces lol.. because that enhydro geode had a LOT of water in it and would have made for a very nice specimen. My heart broke with you when it broke open all wet. Oh well, live and learn right? Hopefully you’ll have better luck with future specimens. 😊

Bom dia! Muito lindo os Geodos aqui encontro muitos...

[@Gemswealthbyrich]

WoW thats amazing

[@laurenchild7081]

The enhydro geode looked really cool

[@EricStorms]

Can these not be cut on the saw? Or would the hollow pocket cause issues/be unsafe? Thanks!

[@EricStorms]

Never mind two seconds after I posted this you mentioned using the saw lol

[@aliencat11]

Anyone else want to have the water in that geode analysed?

[@heathervannatter364]

So fun! Let's goooooooo!!

[@jeneaneherzog4626]

So whats the deal with the wet one?... first time l've seen or heard of it! Need some schooling here!😆

[@AgateDad]

It has water trapped inside it. Search "enhydro" agate :)

[@theresaherrrera8224]

Hi mijo....I got hit by chip from geode....😱😂😂😂😂....Can't wait for new videos 📹😊💗🙏💜

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Ha ha yep I’m always surprised. Sometimes you think they’re solid and BAM! You crack open a big nice pocket of crystals! I’ve haven’t found an enhydro yet… Freaking awesome dude 👍🏼

[@agatebeauties]

Fun to watch! Very cool

[@okisaru]

wonderful video. does and will Tyler ship any of his geodes? and if so, would you please share the address to him?

[@kellyhollingsworth6100]

I know it is fun to play wack-a-mole, why did you not use your saw? Looks like fun.

[@justjulee9135]

I have only one geode and I can't get that thing open for all the money in the world lol 😆. I should send it to you to cut with the saw if I can still find it. Great video!

[@kylegawron5358]

try a zip lock bag to kep the water inside in the bag, and all you have to do is take the geode out of the bag

[@patriciamckean4186]

I have never done that. I should get cracking. Lol 😆

[@IzettaSprinkel-z9b]

Hodkiewicz Underpass

[@tyechristle2410]

Do we have geodes in Minnesota? A quick Google search says yes but I can't find anything about where I would find them.

[@ruhsexperimentsgliesperimentid]

The enhydro one

[@argentinacruz5978]

Looooveee sou match

[@katherinelilin9837]

Sad and sweet

[@sunnyscott4876]

Why don't you cut them on your lapidary saw?

[@OregonRocks]

Will you be using any iron out on these specimens?

[@AgateDad]

Maybe someday!

[@utahwaxwing]

how can you determine there is an enhydro prior to opening a geode?

[@AgateDad]

Maybe a scan but not sure unless you can hear slushing

[@iz.superturtle]

Do they have any value?

[@AgateDad]

Yes

[@iz.superturtle]

@@AgateDad in "carat" or some other measurement value

[@shanniebrown]

Why do you not want to open the enhydro ones?

[@AgateDad]

If you can polish down and see the water trapped inside it is much more valuable

[@shanniebrown]

@@AgateDad ahhhh!!!! Thanks!! Can’t wait to see that!

[@obieobrien5883]

Is there something special about the anhydrous geodes?

[@AgateDad]

The one with water inside?

[@Mizai]

you should cut them open for cleaner look

[@ronandragonflame]

You, Sir, are a good looking man. I love your love for this.

[@nheilbryanperocho7262]

Agate dad there a lot of coral in the phillippine

[@marywrigjt7614]

👍👍👍

[@carmenevans7651]

Why cracking instead of sawing them open? Nice steel toed shoes.

[@AgateDad]

At the end I mention it’s nice getting back to the basics. No need for steel toe shoes, no heavy lifting in this video.

[@carmenevans7651]

@@AgateDad I posted my comment before the end of the video. Hammers seem to be attracted to my feet for some reason.

[@MarilynMcWhinney]

Why are you cracking geodes in stead of cutting ?

[@AgateDad]

Old video

[@jeremiahwise668]

Nice

[@tott3457]

Question??? Why to you all crack them open instead of cutting them on a saw? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@AgateDad]

Watch until the end

[@carlzatsick8405]

I know a lot of people break open the geodes with a hammer Why ? Carl Zatsick Farmington Michigan

[@pleasedontleadmeon]

Whats soo special about the water

[@AgateDad]

It's old

[@nuggetwagon]

Dude. That was a mess. I get what you do there, though.

[@AgateDad]

Definitely not a perfect practice with hammer and chisel. It was fun though

[@BJBDF]

So I had to disable my adblocker so I could watch commercials but still could not watch the video. ?????

[@AgateDad]

I don’t know what your talking about.

[@BJBDF]

@@AgateDad I don't know how else to explain it. Every single one of your other videos plays just fine. I watch them frequently. This one just keeps loading but never plays and when I disable my adblocker I get random commercials but the video still won't play.
