Section of quartz crystal geode
Quartz geode. Polished surface of a sectioned quartz geode. Geodes are formed by deposition of silica on the inner surface of rock cavities, which often occur in sedimentary rock containing fossil shells. The thin outer layer of the geode consists of dense chalcedonic silica. Silica precipitates inside this as water passes through, eventually building up to form crystals of quartz. The inner core of this geode is still hollow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing section of a quartz crystal geode, revealing the intricate beauty hidden within. The polished surface offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of geodes, which are formed through the deposition of silica on the inner walls of rock cavities. These cavities often occur in sedimentary rocks that contain fossil shells, adding another layer of intrigue to this natural wonder. The thin outer layer of the geode is composed of dense chalcedonic silica, creating a protective shell for what lies within. As water passes through over time, silica precipitates and accumulates inside, gradually forming stunning crystals of quartz. This gradual process results in an exquisite display of nature's artistry. What makes this particular geode even more intriguing is its hollow inner core. This void adds depth and mystery to its overall composition, inviting us to ponder about its formation and evolution throughout countless years. Through this remarkable photograph by Science Photo Library, we are transported into a world where science meets aesthetics. It serves as a reminder that our planet holds endless wonders waiting to be discovered and appreciated for their sheer magnificence.
