What is a Geode?

Awesome geodes
Aaron M from Dallas,TX
Most all are hollow with quartz.A few are crystalline and I have gotten moss agate filled ones.They are a great way to get young rockhounds started on their collection.My Grandfather got me started in rock collecting many years ago.Highly recommend.
To show what is it on the exterior
Martin from Quebec Canada
i own many geodes that are already in half polished or not, those are to show what they look like when you find them in nature, is it a fossil, an odd looking rock, a piece of petrified animal or what?
Great fun!

I bought these for my sons classroom, the students loved smashing them open to discover the gems inside.
