I know this isn't necessarily a fossil question, but it does relate due to the fact that they grow on clams etc. I've been finding what I believe are honey calcite geodes. Ive looked everywhere on the internet and couldn't find much about them growing in geodes in Florida, but a ton on them growing on shells and limestone. Does anyone know about the growing as geodes? I really don't have enough knowledge on the subject and spent looking around. Maybe it's not honey calcite, but Florida doesn't have a variety of crystals. Here are a couple of pictures. Thanks

I have found several of these and have gone back to harvest more for the sweet crystalspot. The area also has cylindrical Stromatoporoid and favosite fossils. I also found two of these specimens with large (rare to me) bivalve or brachiopod species in the matrix. The base of which looks like a "C." The critters are in a certain strata of the limestone road cut. They are quite distinct in appearance within the wall, due to the long, radiating spicules (I think that's what I'm seeing) and the darker color. Of course, some actually appear with their crystal structures exposed. Thanks in advance for help with the ID.
