Meaning Of Amygdaloid
n.
A variety of trap or basaltic rock, containing small
cavities, occupied, wholly or in part, by nodules or geodes of
different minerals, esp. agates, quartz, calcite, and the zeolites.
When the imbedded minerals are detached or removed by decomposition, it
is porous, like lava.
