Overview
A hollow spherical cavity with three concentric shells: smooth basalt outside, calcite inside that, and a lining of amethyst blocks and budding amethyst around a chiming hollow centre. Budding amethyst grows amethyst clusters over time and cannot be mined, even with Silk Touch, which makes an untouched geode a permanent renewable farm. Break clusters only at full growth and only with a pickaxe, or use Silk Touch to move partly grown ones. Geodes also occasionally intersect the ocean floor and open to the surface.
