Summary

DescriptionDugway Geode (Juab County, Utah, USA) 2 (34581522545).jpg

This shows the interior of a geode. Geodes are small to large, subspherical to irregularly-shaped, crystal-lined cavities in rocks. They form when water enters a void in a host rock and precipitates crystals. The most common geode-lining mineral is quartz.

This Utah geode comes from the Dugway Geode Beds, which occur in Miocene-aged, rhyolitic volcanic rocks. The geode is lined with agate (= thinly layered portion) covered with small quartz crystals.

Locality: Dugway Geode Beds, near the northern margin of Juab County, western Utah, USA (vicinity of 39 53' 37.78" North latitude, 113 08' 13.12" West longitude)
