I hate to admit it now, but Earth Sciences was the most boring science class I took in high school. And I flubbed the practical exam where the instructor asked us to identify a bunch of rocks. Hey, they were just rocks, right?
Since then my love of geology has never approached the level of professional excellence like my professional friends at Falcon Geodetic or the scientific expertise at Geology.com. But I know a pretty rock when I see one. And this museum had cases and cases of pretty rocks from all over. Marble, malachite, quartz, and many beautiful varieties of each.
And what thought comes to mind when faces with so many pretty tiles? Why, a custom tiled bathroom, of course.
