There was an entertaining story on mineral evolution on today's Morning Edition. Thought it might be of interest to some of the geology-oriented climbing folks here:

Thanks, Trad. Very cool stuff, there.

Interesting facts.
I love Robert Krulwich.

"Birth, life, death, rebirth, mutation, evolution, complexity.... all one system." This is succession.
Coming to grips with succession... is what saved me - it is what kept me from going insane - it is what gave me peace.

Here's a link to Robert Hazen's web page on mineral evolution (he's the guy being interviewed in the NPR story):
