The term geode is derived from the Greek word Geoides which means earthlike.. A geode is a round rock which contains a hollow cavity lined with crystals. Rocks which are completely filled with small compact crystal formations such as agate, jasper or chalcedony are called nodules. The only difference between a geode and a nodule is that a geode has a hollow cavity, and a nodule is solid. Geodes begin as bubbles in volcanic rock or as animal burrows, tree roots or mud balls in sedimentary rock.
