  2. Enhydro agate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhydro_agate

    Enhydro geode, found in Brazil. Enhydro agates are nodules, agates, or geodes with water trapped inside its cavity. [1] Enhydros are closely related to fluid inclusions, but are composed of chalcedony. The formation of enhydros is still an ongoing process, with specimens dated back to the Eocene Epoch. [2]

  3. Wulfenite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wulfenite

    Crystals are deep red in color and usually very well-formed. Wulfenite was approved as the official state mineral of Arizona in 2017. [5] The Los Lamentos locality in Mexico produced very thick tabular orange crystals. Another locality is Mount Peca in Slovenia. The crystals are yellow, often with well-developed pyramids and bipyramids.

  4. Geode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geode

    A geode (/ ˈ dʒ iː. oʊ d /; from Ancient Greek γεώδης (geṓdēs) 'earthlike') is a geological secondary formation within sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Geodes are hollow, vaguely spherical rocks, in which masses of mineral matter (which may include crystals) are secluded.

  5. Celestine (mineral) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestine_(mineral)

    The world's largest known geode, a celestine geode 35 feet (11 m) in diameter at its widest point, is located near the village of Put-in-Bay, Ohio, on South Bass Island in Lake Erie. The geode has been converted into a viewing cave, Crystal Cave, with the crystals which once composed the floor of the geode removed. The geode has celestine ...

  6. Vein (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein_(geology)

    Vugs, cavities and geodes are all examples of open-space filling phenomena in hydrothermal systems. Alternatively, hydraulic fracturing may create a breccia which is filled with vein material. Such breccia vein systems may be quite extensive, and can form the shape of tabular dipping sheets, diatremes or laterally extensive mantos controlled by ...

  7. Okenite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okenite

    It most commonly is found as small white "cotton ball" formations within basalt geodes. These formations are clusters of straight, radiating, fibrous crystals that are both bendable and fragile. [5] It also belongs to the family of the calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) commonly found in hardened cement paste.

  8. Vug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vug

    Geodes are a vug-formed rock, although that term is usually reserved for more rounded crystal-lined cavities in sedimentary rocks and ancient lavas. [2] The word vug was introduced to the English language by Cornish miners, from the days when Cornwall was a major supplier of tin. [3] The Cornish word was vooga, which meant "cave". [3]

  9. Agate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agate

    Agate (/ ˈ æ ɡ ɪ t / AG-it) is a variety of chalcedony, [1] which comes in a wide variety of colors. Agates are primarily formed within volcanic and metamorphic rocks.The ornamental use of agate was common in ancient Greece, in assorted jewelry and in the seal stones of Greek warriors, [2] while bead necklaces with pierced and polished agate date back to the 3rd millennium BCE in the Indus ...
