Special Opening Instructions: If you plan to open these geodes by hand, we recommend a hammer and chisel. First take a regular hammer and strike the geode at least 15 times with a medium pressure and check for a hairline crack after each strike. If a crack forms then insert a screwdriver and pry the geode open. If no crack is present after 15 strikes then we use a metal chisel. Try to get a chisel that is at least half the width of the geodes diameter. Place the chisel at the center of the geode and strike it hard with your hammer ( we use a small 3 pound sledge hammer). Usually after one or two strikes the geode will split in two.
