You’re drinking water that’s been filtered through 10,000 feet of rock. The crust is the planet’s Brita filter. And the soil in your garden? Made from pulverized crust and dead things. You’re literally growing tomatoes on ancient fish bones.
So next time you stub your toe on a rock, remember: you just kicked something that used to be a volcano, a dinosaur’s footprint, or a billion-year-old storm. The crust isn’t just ground—it’s a storybook with no end.
Go poke a pebble. It might have secrets.
