      Hello Aimees, my favourite rock has to be a basalt rock. This is a volcanic rock that was erupted from an ancient volcano on the Moon. I studied the basalt rocks in my laboratory and measure how many elements of sulfur and chlorine they contain. When viewed with a microscope, basalts look so pretty with lots of lovely crystals (known as minerals) inside them! 🙂
