Geodes are usually formed in bubbles and other cavities inside of volcanic rock, mainly molten rock that has joined other layers of rock. They can also form in surface lava that is thick, so the process of cooling is slow. Molten lava contains many gases, so as it cools the gases are released and causes the bubbles and cavities in the rock.
