Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Geodes provide a unique environment for crystal growth, with hollow spaces that allow for relatively unconstrained growth in all directions. This can result in the formation of large, well-formed crystals with distinct faces (euhedral crystals). The abundance or presence of specific elements or minerals within the geode may also impact crystal formation, but the primary factor contributing to the impressive crystal growth in geodes is the empty space within them.
