What does GEODE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A rounded rock with a hollow cavity inside, usually lined with crystals or other mineral formations.
A geode begins as a bubble or cavity within volcanic rock or sediment, and over long periods, mineral-rich water seeping through the rock deposits layers of crystal on the inner walls of that empty space. From the outside a geode often looks like an ordinary, unremarkable stone, which is why collectors usually cut or crack one open to reveal the hidden crystals within. Amethyst, quartz, and calcite are among the minerals most commonly found lining the inside of a geode. Because the crystal patterns vary so widely, no two specimens ever look exactly alike, which is part of why geodes are popular among rock collectors and hobbyists.
