All About Rocks and Rock Collecting

Earth is made up of rocks, and it’s fascinating to study geology to learn more about Earth’s composition. Rocks come in all shapes and sizes, and they fall under three main categories,

which are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. The way rocks are formed will determine their category.

Anyone can learn about rocks, and rock collecting is a fun hobby that’s directly connected to the study of rocks.

Asbestos Mining and Exposure

Asbestos was once considered a “miracle mineral” for its heat resistance and durability.

This fibrous mineral has been mined because of these useful properties since early Greek civilization and is still mined in many parts of the world today.
