[QUOTE="Rockhunter62, post: 314183, member: 7504"] Hey Riley, Took the kids to The Crystal Caves in Atherton NQ a few years ago and we cracked a few geodes there. Have a look at [url=http://www.crystalcaves.com.au]www.crystalcaves.com.au[/url] and open up the header "The Crystal Caves Museum Atherton" , "The Shop", then "Crack a Geode". You will see a photo of a couple of kids on the pipe clamp devise that they use to crack open the geodes. They have it adjusted so it only exerts enough pressure on them to crack the geode without shattering it completely. You will also see a couple of videos of tjis in action. Not sure if this method would be suitable for thunder eggs though. I hope this helps. Cheers Doug [/QUOTE]
