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.

What kind of science are crystals?

Crystals fall under the field of mineralogy, which is a branch of geology that focuses on the study of minerals, including their composition, structure, properties, and formation. The study of crystals also intersects with crystallography, which specifically examines the atomic and molecular structure of crystals.


What kind of texture does a rock with large crystals scattered on a background of much smaller crystals have?

The rock would have a porphyritic texture, with large crystals (phenocrysts) embedded in a finer-grained matrix (groundmass). This texture is typically the result of two stages of cooling during the formation of the rock, where the larger crystals formed first deep in the Earth and then the finer-grained matrix formed as the magma moved closer to the surface.


What kind of precipitation forms when strong winds toss ice crystals up and down in a cloud?

When strong winds toss ice crystals up and down in a cloud, it can lead to the formation of hail. As the ice crystals are carried up and down in the cloud, they encounter different temperature zones that cause them to grow larger. Eventually, the ice crystals become too heavy to be supported by the wind and fall to the ground as hail.


What kind of rock typically contains crystals within its structure?

Igneous rocks typically contain crystals within their structure.


What kind of rock has small holes full of sugar like crystals?

The type of rock that has small holes filled with sugar-like crystals is known as geode. Geodes are hollow rocks that contain mineral crystals lining the inner cavity, often formed when minerals dissolve and recrystallize within the rock's open spaces. These crystals can resemble sugar in appearance, making geodes popular for their unique and beautiful formations.

Is the earth's shape a geode?

No. A geode is not a shape; it is a kind of rock with a hollow interior filled with crystals. Earth's shape is an oblate spheroid.
