LYRICS

How could I not know about the igneous flow

I’m just an igneous ignoramus

After investigation, one realizes… da… there’s no enigma

Quartz crystallizes from molten magma

A six-sided prism terminating in a six-sided pyramid

Down-to-earth geotropism hid under an inside-out geode lid

Cryptocrystalline can hardly be seen

Aggregate into an agate and see what you get

Some people only know the volcano

I must confess… I was an igneous ignoramus

Only getting to know about a lava flow (The mama of molten magma)

Then, my sights started to grow

Now I’m inclusive of extrusive and intrusive

Why not get ’em while they’re hot… these rocks rock

Crystals… fractals… for sure, crystals — fractals found in nature

Mandelbrot brought “beautiful, damn hard, increasingly useful. That’s fractals.”

Might I add to this fad “beautiful, damn hard, increasingly useful. That’s quartz crystals.”
