First stop: the kitchen. That sleek, polished countertop you love to lean on? Chances are it’s granite—the superstar of igneous rocks. Granite is tough, heat-resistant, and won’t hold a grudge if you spill red wine on it. Although your tablecloth might. It’s basically the bodyguard of your cooking space.
But wait, there’s more! Your fancy pumice stone in the bathroom? Also igneous. It’s basically frozen lava foam—so lightweight it floats on water. People use it to scrub dead skin off their feet, which is weirdly satisfying. Volcanoes literally exfoliate you. You’re welcome.
And obsidian? That smooth, black, glassy rock? Volcanoes made that too. Ancient folks turned it into razor-sharp knives for cutting meat. Today? We use it in surgical scalpels. Fancy, right? Tell that to your next steak dinner.
