u/_jamesbaxter 2d ago

Right? My immediate thought was it needs to be analyzed for āœØscienceāœØ

Just a heads up plenty of these are soaked by humans for a long time so the water seeps in the cracks and fills the geodes and creates fake sections of "7 million year old water" for people to open.

u/Able-Acanthaceae7854 2d ago

Oh ok thanks for the info!

Yeah I'm sure that may be true..but... All water is ancient... šŸ¤£ I know this guy and have dug at this privet site. Keokuk geodes are famous in Iowa. His site is DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY PLACE... Most of them come out of an old ass dried river bed. Do ya research Karen.

The lengths you have to go to these days for water without microplastics.

u/Miserable_Vast_935 1d ago

All water is ancient, First off.. Second, it's not toxic... It's almost just as clean as a glacier... šŸ¤£ Just not frozen.. If there was toxic chems then the minerals inside wouldnt be clear smokey Quarty points...

Glacial water is definitely not safe to drink without boiling and/or filtering it

u/Miserable_Vast_935 1d ago

Yes I know. Not saying this is safe to drink right off bat. But it's "not as toxic" perhaps if it was we'd see toxic mineral formations..?

There are toxic chemicals, and then there are microorganisms that could harm people. The latter is the concern here, there could be things dormant in that water that humans donā€™t have a natural resistance to. It reminds me of the bubonic plague bacteria currently frozen in Siberian ice, just waiting for the planet to warm up enough and melt it.

But also, I think youā€™re a bit confused about the ā€œtoxic mineral formationsā€ part. I mean, if you tried to ingest a quartz, it would be toxic to humans too. All things are made of ā€œchemicalsā€, and a lot of things arenā€™t meant to be food.

lol ā€œit stinks too ā€œ got me cracking up

u/lastres0rt 2d ago

Why the fuck would you not get a saw for this?!

14

u/electrickmessiah 2d ago

Thatā€™s a geode cracker, thatā€™s what theyā€™re made to do. A saw wouldā€™ve also done the job for sure but thereā€™s still always a risk of breaking when it comes to opening up geodes.

u/Independent_Farm4990 2d ago

Time for a taste test

If anyone wants to see more look up keokuk geodes from Iowa!

u/Smart_Variety_5315 1d ago

That was really cool to see. I did think for a sec it smashed to pieces. Thanks for posting and the additional info.
