Unlike a "druse," a geode is separable (by weathering) as a discrete nodule or concretion from the rock in which it occurs and its inner crystals are not of the same minerals as those of the enclosing rock. A geode tends to be slightly flattened with its equatorial plane parallel to the bedding. 2, record 1, English, - geode
