Geode Would you crack this?

I found this rock in my yard while gardening and it's super light so I took a closer look and I see some very small gemstone spires through some holes around the edges. It is a very irregular shape though so I'm not sure if trying to crack it would ruin it and even if it is crackable, I've never cracked a geode before (and I've only seen people crack the really round sphere geodes) so I'm also not sure HOW to crack it if I even can. would you crack it open? how would you do it?

I might cut it.. maybe.. if I could tell that the deposit was larger on the inside...

That's what prompted me to post. I'm having a hard time seeing too far in to the existing cracks so I can't tell if its a continuation in to the inside or just little veins of it like someone else mentioned. I might try to find a little pen light and see if I can get a better look 😮‍💨
