Rocks

My favorite rock is basalt, so anything to do with basalt, I love. While in Hawaii last semester, I bought an olivine necklace (or peridotite, same deal), but that's not really a sample, but it is the "basalt mineral." But while at Shark's Cove, I took a piece of vesicular basalt. I think that's illegal because it's a state beach park, but it's basalt from Hawaii, and I couldn't resist. I have some other basalt too. A lot of it looks similar, because basalt often looks the same, but it's just so cool. I saw some basalt once with lots of olivine and pyroxene phenocrysts and I really liked that, so maybe one day I can have a sample like that one.
