The Kentucky Geological Survey was a bit salty about not being consulted before the designation was made.

Salty enough to mention it on their website!

Or should I say "Salt Rock" enough?

Pardon my pun. Haha!

Episode 41: Between A Rock And A Hard Place

The state legislature designated Agate as our State Rock in 2000.

But it's not a rock...it's a mineral...making it a crystal.

Scientifically, coal is not a mineral. It's a rock. A rock that just also happens to be burnable.

It's the solid rock foundation of much of our economy.

Pardon my pun. Haha!

Wanna know why lawmakers won't correct this designation?

Listen now!

Episode 41: Between A Rock And A Hard Place

The Freshwater Pearl is Kentucky's state gemstone. The Kentucky General Assembly made the designation in 1986 after being petitioned by school children to do so.

[Strange Bluegrass Podcast @StrangeBluegras]

The only.problem with this is that Pearl's aren't technically gemstones because they aren't made up of minerals. They are comprised of calcium carbonate and are one of the few gems that are organic, meaning they come from a loving thing.
