- Geodes from Southern Indiana. These are pictures from a geode collecting trip that my dad and I went on. The geodes we found in this stream bed all were eroded out of southern Indiana limestones. Geodes form in cavities that are filled with mineral-rich water, usually quartz. When the water moves through, it leaves behind the disolved quartz in the cavity.

- Geodes (Greek γεώδης - ge-ōdēs, earthlike) are commonly independent spherical masses of resistant mineral matter that are usually hollow. The extreme filling of a geode so that it is solid is also common.Some people refer to completely in-filled geodes as nodules, but the two names are not always consistently used.eodes differ from nodules in that a nodule is a solid mass of mineral matter, but some nodules may have a tiny void space in their interiors and the distinction between a geode and a nodule may be barely discernible if the cavity is miniscule.

What in the World is a Geode? Like a cave, the mineral rich solution that leaves crystals behind inside a geode is a naturally occurring process between groundwater and the surrounding rock. Crystal size, color and chemical composition will vary and each individual geode is unique.Clear quartz, smoky quartz, amethyst, calcite, celestite, and chalcedony are examples of some minerals you may find inside a geode. Geodes from the same location often have the same type of mineral crystals.Some geodes are filled in with beautiful layers of mineral crystals.lear quartz, smoky quartz, amethyst, calcite, celestite, and chalcedony are examples of some minerals you may find inside a geode.

Geode Coloration. Most geodes contain clear quartz crystals, while others have purple amethyst crystals. Still others can have agate, chalcedony, or jasper banding or crystals such as calcite, dolomite, celestite, etc. There is no easy way of telling what the inside of a geode holds until it is cut open or broken apart.oloration.

Facts About Geodes Often found in North America, Central America, South America and Namibia, and a common sight in museum gift shops, geodes are rock formations that involve a variety of minerals. At its most basic, geodes are rocks with an interior cavity lined with another mineral. The name geode comes from the Greek word “geode” meaning “earthlike.” This name is fitting as many geodes are round, like little planets--worlds of light and stone unto themselves capturing fascination wherever they are discovered.
