The Geode Guys

06/23/2026

I've picked out 3 XL Oco geodes from Brazil, all of which I think will be incredible. But before I cut them open, I want to take a poll on who thinks which will be most incredible on the inside. Vote now!

Bonus: After cutting them open, I will draw three random people who voted AND shared this post and send them one of the geodes! Make sure you follow us to see the subsequent cutting video!

Many geodes we cut end up with some unwanted mineral seepage in them. When that happens my first go to is full strength (50% pure) vinegar. You can buy at most garden stores, or you can get it delivered straight to your door using our link*: https://amzn.to/3OxLOAQ
