Geodes usually have a large section missing from them where no amethyst or casing blocks generate, which is presumably intended for connections with caves. However, in cases where geodes are indeed touching caves, this absent area is very commonly pointing in completely the opposite direction, preventing access to the geode without breaking blocks.

Same, The geodes are rare because of ravine, i can't find them really really long and i can try dig straight down and straight line which the cave biome is not generating an amethyst geode but its only ravine exclusively that excludes other cave biomes and its only rare to find whatever you do
also same for 20w48a
First of all, there are no cave biomes yet. Ravines are structures, and after 1.17 they will be a form of generation, not a biome. Second of all, we still have not seen any new cave generation yet. The developers are definitely not concerned about the position of the geodes in the current snapshots because they are still working on the cave generation as a whole.
Hey there!
Just to let you know, this is an intended feature and these geodes will also spawn above ground as well. There are sometimes attached to caves but more often that not, you'll find them isolated underground.
