They're called geodes. Basically, they're cavities in the molten material (magma) in the form of gas bubbles. The mineral rich solution seeps in and crystallizes and grows until all the solution is exhausted. That's why sometimes you'll end up with a crystal filled cavity and other times the whole void is filled in with interlocking crystals.
A crystal-lined rock is commonly referred to as a geode. Geodes are spherical rocks that contain a hollow cavity lined with crystals, typically formed in volcanic rocks or sedimentary deposits.
A crystal-lined rock is called a geode. Geodes are hollow rocks that contain sparkling crystals inside, formed by minerals depositing in the cavities of the rock over time.
It sounds like you are describing a geode, which is a rounded rock typically with a hollow cavity lined with crystals. Geodes are formed in sedimentary or volcanic rocks and can contain various types of minerals such as quartz, amethyst, or calcite.
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.
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.
a geode
it is true.
That's a geode.
That's a geode.
That's a geode.
A rock lined with mineral crystals is called a geode. Geodes are hollow rocks that contain a variety of different crystals inside, such as quartz, amethyst, or calcite. These crystals form inside the geode over time as mineral-rich water flows through and deposits minerals along the walls.
A hollow rock with crystals might be called a geode. A geode is a type of sedimentary rock that has crystals formed inside due to volcanic heating and cooling or by other chemicals seeping into the rock.
A geode. Geodes are spherical to oblong rock formations that contain hollow cavities lined with crystals such as quartz, amethyst, or calcite. They form as gas bubbles in volcanic rock or in sedimentary rock.

a geode. They're fairly common, but often very pretty.
