Yes, I googled it. I had none of the supplies. Its not very large, probably around 3 in. (7.62 cm) in circumference 2 in. ( 5.08 cm) in diameter. I was beating this son of a bitch with a piece of a cinder block and it still didn't break.


Please disregard all of my pre-2013 posts. I was young and borderline retarded.

Throw it against a concrete wall. Or are you too weak?

Use your head!

Now to be serious for the first time ever on NG:
Use a wedge. an axe would do just fine but you'll seriously dull it. Any wedge helps, my uncle is a geologist; trust me.

Nooo! Don't do that! The geode is the state rock of Iowa! It's a living thing and it can feel pain! It's soo young and it has thousands of years ahead of it!

Just use a wedge-like thing

Put it in a clamp (if you don't have a clamp then improvise) Use any triangular object as a wedge, and hit it with a sledge hammer (if you don't have a sledge hammer then hit it with any object)

If not then you can build a bomb for it. (make a pretty weak one and detonate it in the middle of nowhere from a distance)

That's what I did to my slaves when I was a kid. Good times... good times...
