From where I'm sitting in my home office, there is an array of glacial boulders in the flower bed outside my window. I picked them from a farmer's field (with permission) -- a wide assortment and roundish. As a geophysicist, I only know three rocks, and all three are present: granite, not-granite, and maybe-granite.

I know big rocks, cool rocks, regular rocks

Closest to me, a granite or marble countertop that's actually cool. My soon-to-be geologist friend was always pointing things out.

Oh, I forgot about that. I have granite in the bathroom. It is definitely granite. I know that one.
