WHAT DOES GEODE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

geode

Geode

Geodes are geological secondary structures which occur in certain sedimentary and volcanic rocks. They are themselves of sedimentary origin formed by chemical precipitation. Geodes are essentially hollow, loosely spheroid to oblate masses of mineral matter that may have formed from either of two different processes: ▪ by the filling of vesicles in volcanic to sub-volcanic rocks by minerals deposited from hydrothermal fluids or ▪ by the dissolution of sedimentary nodules or concretions and partial filling by the same or other minerals precipitated from diagenetic water, groundwater or hydrothermal fluids. Geodes differ from vugs in that the former were formed as early, rounded, structures within the surrounding rock and are often removed intact, whereas vugs are irregular shaped pockets, voids or cavities within a formation, often along a vein or in breccia. Geodes also differ from "nodules" in that a nodule is a mass of mineral matter that has accreted around the nodule nucleus. Both structures had the minerals contained within, deposited from groundwater or hydrothermal processes.

Definition of geode in the English dictionary

The definition of geode in the dictionary is a cavity, usually lined with crystals, within a rock mass or nodule.
