2.5 - Little Chunk of Quartz
Quartz (SiO2 or silica dioxide) is the most ubiquitous minerals on the planet. It’s a simple compound that has thousands of practical uses for humans. I could go on forever. You should really watch this video if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/A41wVJaYnRU?si=T8JkEUrFcDD8RXVm
Anyway, I like mundane rocks. Sometimes the most beautiful interesting rocks are just hanging out in planters beds in a strip mall. It’s amazing how many people pass over what I interpret as pure miracles of millions of years of geologic activity.
This little guy was probably just on the sidewalk or something. I don’t remember where. But I found broken like this. When did it break? A year ago? 5? 100? Who knows!
