Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Geodes are hollow cavities within rocks that can be lined with crystals. The hollow space provides abundant room for the crystals to grow, allowing them to form larger, well-defined shapes. The presence or absence of certain elements or minerals within the geode does not necessarily affect the euhedral crystal growth.
