Review on 🌍 Explore the Wonders Within: National Geographic Break Premium Geodes Unveiled by Derick Carpenter

Not perfect but I will buy again

Let me start with what I like about this product: I have tried various other brands of geode breakers and many of them were very difficult to break. Usually those that are harder to hack are mostly rocks and less cavernous crystalline space. Only one stone from this batch was difficult to break, and that was because it was a completely massive crystal. I'm not too upset about that because that's the nature of geodes - sometimes you get a rock. A 9/10 geode is fine for me. The problem is that while there were many decent-sized geodes, two were quite small. One was very small, appearing to be less than 1.5 inches in diameter. Another thing is that about 6 of them were made of the same type of stone and looked exactly the same inside. I didn't expect the range to be handpicked, but when more than half of them are made from the same stone despite existing varieties, it seems a bit strange. Maybe I just have a bad batch. Still, the quality and overall ease of opening these geodes compared to other brands I've purchased keep me coming back every time I decide to start a new craft project.
