The Geode veins are essentially Corundum veins that use a different graphic and a weighted loot list, so the odds are skewed in favor of Corumdum ore. Had this happen on my first character through there and was rather annoyed, siince I already had a ton of the stuff in my smithing supplies container and wanted soul gems instead.
I did not encounter the Dragon on my first character, as I did not know the trigger yet, but I did on the second. If you're going to trigger it, be prepared; he's a Named boss-class critter, with all that entails, and will kill you if you try it at a low level.
