The crystals actually grow inside the rock, and when you break it open, there are the crystals. It takes millions of years, as capt. says. |

How can I safely open a geode?
I have gotten some unopened
geodes for my dad for
Christmas. I want to include
some instructions on how to
safely crack them open while
creating as few pieces as
possible. They will vary in
size from 3 - 5" across.

One way to open a geode -- to reveal the crystals -- is with a chisel and hammer. Score the geode completely around the outside where you want it to crack -- usually in two equal halves. Keep going until it cracks and breaks apart. This will almost always work and won't damage the crystals. |

something?

How do you clean a geode?
It is dusty inside, from
sitting on a shelf.

Wear gloves coz it can cut your hands to handle it... using luke warm water with a small amount of soap solution, use a pastry brush to get into the nooks and crannies... then rinse thoroughly, and leave upturned on a towel to dry. :-) |
