This great big Earth has been around for centuries and centuries . We all share this great big rock and it keeps producing more and more rock as time goes on adding layer by layer until metamorphosing into different categories of rocks and stones .
I can't help but be mesmerized with rocks that have been around since the beginning of time imagine if they could talk the stories they could tell . Ever wonder wonder about Stone Henge ? My mind wanders into the land of the lost or as most would call it the Dinosaur age every time I explore the mountain's for my daily hike . A routine I try to keep up with weekly . Rocks and stones are every where even under our feet . I pick them up , I touch and feel them . Some are smooth and some are rough some small and some sparkle and some are matte . It's composition is raw and natural and is constantly forming itself with time and corrosion .
A rock or a stone is a natural occurring solid aggregate of minerals and mineraloids .The outer layer of the the Earth is called Lithosphere it is the hard layer and is made of rock .There are three types of rock igneous , sedimentary , and metamorphic .
Rocks are classified by mineral and chemical composition, by texture of particles and the process that form them .They are then separated into classification and transformation from one type to another ...
The Rock Cycle ....
Rock on , three cheer's for the rock !
I will have my rocks with an ice cold beverage !
love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
