What's the difference between amygdaloid and basaltic?
Amygdaloid
Definition:
(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.
(a.) Alt. of Amygdaloidal

Basaltic
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to basalt; formed of, or containing, basalt; as basaltic lava.
