    The Rocks and Metals Thread


    Rocks! Who doesn't love them? Nobody, that's who.

    Metals are also pretty awesome, but let's not get carried away here!

    Have fun and post about your favourite rocks and metals here.

    Re: The rock and metal thread!!!

    Finally there's a thread for avid petrologists and metallurgists!

    My favorite rock is Basalt. Look at that shit.



    As for metal? Has to be Mercury. Best metal, by far.

    Definitely, Semisolids are amazing.
    It's also my favorite overall element, but enough derailing.

    My favorite rock has to be Limestone



    Yeah, sure is a step up from Sandstone.

    Re: The rock and metal thread!!!

    There's a general music thread in MMB, you may post your rock music there.

    Let's make this officially about rocks. Personally I love the ones you see hiking up a mountain where it's like balanced on the tip so it looks like you could just push it and kill somebody. They're awesome.

    Those are amazing. When I go on hikes I like to throw medium-sized rocks against big rocks and see them shatter into smaller rocks.

    Gonna have to agree with Stinkosar on the limestone, since I can't help but love a rock that's made up of a bunch of tiny fossils!

    Because the Music Subforum and similar threads within it already exist (eg. this), I'm fine with this becoming the My Favourite Rocks and Metals thread.

    Personally, I really like Sandstone!

    Diamonds. Diamonds are most certainly one of the hardest metals (if not THE hardest metal) known the man (sic).

    It can also be made into swords, and then swung. In a manner that you cannot ignore.



    Obsidian is also nice.

    Diamond is not metal, it is made of carbon >:[
    Also obviously marble is a rad rock.

    Marble looks nice in garden zones.

    Re: The Rocks and Metals Thread

    Rocks and metals are serious business. >:[ (Sorry >_> )

    Also I was wrong. Despite the amazingness of marble (and I get to be amazed by it a lot, one of the universite building's mainfloor is made out of it), I can't compete with Bismuth.

    My favorite rocks are, of course, piezoelectrics.
    When you squeeze them, they produce electricity!
    Awesome!

    Also, how could nobody mention Dolomite?!
    It's Dolomite, baby!

    I think sodium could use some love in here.



    Plus, when you put it in water, it catches fire and explodes. What's not to love?
