For once, I think The Onion has aimed for parody but hit reality instead. I know two people who study geology and they absolutely do have their favourite rocks.

I lost track of a petite blanche natural Belgian for some years, I know how he feels.

My mom had a rock collection. There was one big rock that was purpleish with white streaks through it. I remember going through her collection just to pull that rock out. Id be stoked if i came across it again.

Warning: chemists, don’t do this. If you get attached to a molecule you’ll become a radical.
