The Glamorous World of Geology

I have on my desk a collection of rocks and minerals with numbers on them. I need to have them memorized for my test this morning. I'm confident about the basic rocks like sandstone, limestone, breccia, marble, basalt, etc. Slate, phyllite, and shale might trip me up. I can tell them apart, but I might forget which is which. Slate rubs off if you rub your finger on it. Slate rubs off. Slate rubs off. Slate rubs off.

The minerals, I think I'll be okay. I hope I'll be okay.

Wish me luck.

I imagine you'd do very well if they were diamonds, emeralds, rubies, etc.?
