“The interior of hollow geodes is filled with mineral crystals, which grow inward from the rind into the hollow space inside the geode. Most often, geodes found in Kentucky are lined with quartz crystals. Less commonly, the calcite or dolomite crystals are found on the inside, either alone or associated with bitumen, barite, galena, fluorite, quartz, limonite, sphalerite, pyrite, selenite, or celestite.”

Lot of 2 Geodes - unopened quartz crystal geodes & nodules
What type of geode are you trying to open?
A "rattler" or "break your own" is going to have a hollow cavity inside, lined with crystals or chalcedony.
A "geode" is partially hollow to completely solid, lined with crystals inside.
A "lapidary" geode will most likely be a solid geode, or have a small cavity.
A rock hammer, or pipe-cutter is best used for opening geodes you suspect to be hollow.
A rock-saw, or dedicated lapidary saw is the best tool for opening lapidary geodes.
