geode - bubble-filling geode - large hand/display specimen each covering a section ofGeodes are bubble fillings that weather out of a vesicular lava. As the flow cools, unescaped gases form voids in the otherwise solid flow. Subsequent hydrothermal activity fills these voids with mineral rich hot water and as it cools, crystals grow on the surface of the roughly spherical opening. In the lava flow, the immediate zone around the now crystal lined bubble is altered and becomes more resistant than the surrounding rock and subsequently
