Thunder egg agate geode. from New Mexico. by Bill The Eggman
Geodes can form in any cavity, but the term is usually reserved
for more or less rounded formations in igneous and sedimentary
rocks. They can form in gas bubbles in igneous rocks, such as
vesicles in basaltic lavas; or, as in the American Midwest, in
rounded cavities in sedimentary formations. After rock around the
cavity hardens, dissolved silicates and/or carbonates are
deposited on the inside surface. Over time, this slow feed of
mineral constituents from groundwater or hydrothermal solutions
allows crystals to form inside the hollow chamber.
