Rocks tell stories.

Creators need to get paid & need to get credit. That it was student work makes it even more essential.
Rocks are hopeless gossips. They can't wait to tell you all the things they've seen no matter if they're wee babies whispering tales of magma chambers, or weary zircons with billions of years of stories to share.

Geoscience is about learning to listen.
Every rock has a story.

Want to learn geoscience? Find a rock. Try to figure out the story of how it was formed, what happened next, and how it got to you.

You can do this with any rock -- natural or synthetic, wild or store-bought. More context makes it easier.
