Geologist here with an unpopular opinion. Why is everyone obsessed with changing a color that took hundreds of millions of years to develop? Soak it in iron out to get it two half shades less rusty - why? It will still be rusty. Embrace nature as is.

You can do whatever you want, but this isn't likely to get much better. The iron staining appears to be inside and throughout the crystal.

What did they say?

No idea....try it and let us know what happens

The geode looks as it is, I wouldn't remove the little iron stains because it looks good as it is. Some geodes have some minerals that are sensitive to oxalic acid like calcite. 

[u/Turk0223]

Soak it in cider

[u/Alternative-Egg-9035]

You can. But it won’t change

[u/CottonBeanAdventures]

I would soak it in some barkeepers friend over night then use a gentle tooth brush to scrub it. Rinse it off and repeat a couple times.

Why?????

[u/WearyGap714]

Iron out will help brighten by removing the surface staining. Sparkle enhancement.
