a geode. They're fairly common, but often very pretty.
Stones with crystals inside are called geodes. Geodes are natural rock formations that contain hollow cavities lined with crystals, often quartz or amethyst. They are often cut or broken open to reveal the beautiful crystals inside.
Geodes are hollow rock formations that contain crystals inside. They are typically formed in sedimentary or volcanic rocks where mineral-rich water accumulates in cavities and deposits crystals over time. Geodes are commonly used for decorative purposes and as collectible items.
Geodes are often lined with quartz.
Geodes are rocks that are lined or filled with crystals. Pegmatites are rock formations that often exhibit extremely large crystals. Just a note--all rocks are composed of mineral crystals, with few exceptions. The crystals in some, however are just too small to see.
A druse is a mineral formation consisting of a cavity or void within a rock that is lined with crystals. These crystals, which can be of various minerals, typically grow outward from the walls of the cavity. Druses are often found in geodes or as part of larger mineral deposits and are valued for their aesthetic appeal in the collection of minerals. The term can also refer to a specific type of quartz formation, where small quartz crystals cover a surface.
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have a _____ texture.
Geodes are typically millions of years old, formed when minerals crystallize within a hollow cavity in rock like a volcanic bubble or sedimentary rock. The age of a geode is determined by the formation process that creates it, so they can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of years old.
