About
The name Geode is derived from the Greek word ‘γεώδης’ (Geoides), pronounced as ge-ōdēs that translates to “earth-like” and that is exactly what Geodes are. Geodes are formed in sedimentary and volcanic rocks and they contain mineral matter inside them which in most cases also consists of crystals.
