We definitely would not recommend cutting geodes or thunder eggs with a pipe cutter.
Thunder eggs and geodes are not the same thing, which is which depends on what situ it forms in. Either way though, T-eggs nor geodes would turn out good at all if you want to polish it after opening using pipe cutters.
Tile saws will work though with the water for dust control. Trick is to keep that stone absolutely still while the cut takes place, other wise every slight movement will cause a wave or inconsistency in the cut surface. With thunder eggs which are normally solid (but not always) this makes more of a difference on the cutting. Geodes which are normally hollow with a crystal pocket (not always though) can be a bit more forgiving in that sense because it's only the outer rim that gets polished after cutting usually.

Small 4 or 6 inch rock saws are not all that much either, for those of you who like to see what's inside those finds. I'd definitely say a small saw would be worth having around.
