Picked up a weird rock on a hike and it totally flipped my view
I used to just walk past rocks without a second thought, they were all the same gray lumps to me. Then last month, I was out on a trail run and tripped over this black, glassy piece that caught the sun. Turned out it was obsidian, and I learned it's actually volcanic glass that cools super fast. That blew my mind, because I always pictured volcanoes making rough, crumbly stuff. Now I can't stop looking at rocks when I'm outside, checking for different textures and colors. I even grabbed a book from the library to figure out what I'm seeing. It's wild how one stumble showed me there's a whole world in the ground under my feet. Guess I'm a rock guy now, who would have thought?
