Discover the Secrets of Enhydros: Rocks with Liquid Cores
The article explores the fascinating world of enhydros, enhydro agates, and fluid inclusions—rocks that contain trapped liquids and gases. Enhydros are hollow nodules filled with water, often made of chalcedony, while enhydro agates are similar but specifically trapped inside agate. Scientists have found microorganisms in ancient water samples from enhydro agates in Brazil. Fluid inclusions occur when crystals trap liquid during their formation, potentially preserving water that is billions of years old, making them valuable for research.
