Comment on Anon uses rare rocks to get R34
It’s refined. It isn’t found like that.
Silicon is not a rock so saying that silica is not rare is irrelevant to the “rare rock” line.
Silica is indeed refined but the rock that they refine to get the pure silica are indeed rare rocks.
No one is refining their silica from potassium feldspar.
Jesus Christ, Marie, they’re minerals!
Thank you for the information. This meme always bothered me, so glad to have the info.
