What does anhedral mean?

Anhedral is the negative "tilt" of a wing like what is found on a harrier jet. When you look at the wings of a passanger jet liner you see that they are tilted up, this is called "dihedral", anhedral is the opposite of this, with a downward tilt rather than an upward one. Anhedral is usually used to cause an inherent instability to increase the maneuverability of an aircraft.

What is euhedral crystal and anhedral crystals?

Euhedral crystals are well-formed crystals with distinct faces and sharp edges due to their growth in an unrestricted environment. Anhedral crystals lack defined crystal faces and edges because they formed in a confined space or in competition with surrounding minerals, resulting in irregular shapes.


Are geodes filled with anhedral crystals on its walls?

Geodes typically contain euhedral crystals (well-formed, distinct crystal shapes) lining the inside walls. These crystals form when mineral-laden water enters a cavity in a rock and then precipitates out to form the surface of the geode. Anhedral crystals, which lack well-defined faces and shapes, are less commonly found in geodes.
