FORMATION: Forms in gas bubbles or cavities in volcanic rock, or in sediments. Silica-rich fluids seep in and deposit thin bands of agate on the walls, then crystals grow inward into the hollow. ★ DID YOU KNOW? ★ The name geode comes from the Greek word for “earth-like”, because the plain, rough outer shell gives no hint of the crystals hiding inside.
