Cracking open an amethyst geode. Looks like one from Brazil.

Can't fool you Tommy. How A Culinary Student Made These Giant Chocolate Geodes "Alex Yeatts made these edible geodes out of chocolate and naturally-formed sugar crystals. The crystals took six months to grow"

That's a lot of chocolate and sugar! Didn't say how they got the sugar-water inside though. Freeze it into a ball before molding the chocolate around it? Drill a hole, pour, reseal? I'm assuming that there would have been an air gap, and that they had to rotate them to get xtls all around - so how often between rotating? Says that they used "egg-shaped molds" - but where do you get geode-shaped molds like that? How many servings, and how many calories per serving (chefs these days gotta know that stuff)?

I am sure jamesp would have some ideas on how it was done. Maybe even servings and calories.
