Rocks and minerals always go together in my head. My first thought was of the gemologist at Brock a long time ago– Sarah went because she collected gems. My second thought was of the ‘Go Fish’ cards we used to have with precious gems and minerals on them. That’s about it.
He didn’t even realize he’d been crying until the salt hit his hand. His knuckles were blushing with bruises from punching the wall. Chips of paint and wood clung to his skin like lint. He shook his laughed at the silliness of it. Losing her wasn’t the end of the world. And it certainly wasn’t worth the cost of a new wall.
It is very important that every one gets the minerals that they need. They can be found in healthy foods and drinks. “I like minerals”, says Joshua, “they make me very strong and healthy.”

I miss the gritty texture of his skin. The hard stones that were his eyes and the palms of his hands, scraping away like sandpaper on velvet. We miss and love the things that hurt us. He carved out a soul for me in a place that was soft and gooey and unused to pressure. It hurt — of course it did. But his knife became an extension of him just as I was the product.
The helicopter rose over the ridge and presented them with a stunning view. Her father’s family had been mining minerals in these hills for almost a century. Now that most of the seams had been exhausted, it was time to give the land back. Overriding the objections of her board of directors, she had turned the entire mountain range into a wildlife reserve; a sanctuary for the animals that her father’s bulldozers had almost wiped out, and she had also put aside the land by the river for farming by the mine workers and their families. Her family had made billions from stripping that land, and she did not want it to go to waste now that they could do so no more.

they descended down to the caves, like ancestors, forefathers, those who sang the ancient song i had to bear in my heart
i sat outside the cave alone, pretending to smoke, staring at the aquamarine sky and counting all the times i had been cowardly.
Minerals are a vital part of the Planet Earth. They come in all shapes and forms, are inside of our bodies, and are also a part of each human and animal creature. They can be beautiful, they are essential, and it is one of the elements of our planet that make it so awe-inspiring and unique.
The minerals in my box are special. My brother is gone, my mother is missing, my father is dead. The only thing I have left are these minerals in my box. The minerals in my hands.

SCIENCE. ROCKS.
BORING BLA BLA BLA.
In certain diets you need lots of minerals because your diet is starving you to death.
It’s on the backs of food boxes/cans.
Really? Though? Rocks, the minerals influence the colors of the rocks.
River
rings on your finger
your grandmother gave them to you
made from minerals
she panned in arizona
they bring a smile to me
yet she was cold when i met her
you call her frenchie
a nickname
but the distance was palpable
like she didn’t care who her goddaughter was dating
maybe it was because one of her sons was in jail for child molestation
maybe it was because the other one killed himself
either way, i shouldn’t have been surprised that we broke up four days later.

Minerals are in several things that are important to our diets. They are important because they aid in digestion and other health benefits. There are also precious minerals that are very valuable.

Sometimes, when she was little and they wanted her out of the way, she’d grab her step father’s hammer and sit in the front yard. Instead of dirt or grass, it was filled with ‘decorative stones’, all pure white shining in the midday sun.

The minerals that lay beneath the Earth’s crust were vast, she knew. It was only a matter of time before Grandfather called her in from the back yard and told her to stop studying–but she wasn’t sure why anyone would stop studying. She wanted to know more, so much more, and with a grandparent like she had it was hard not to be judged for being so studios.
She wanted to blame him for all of her troubles, but she knew that that would be unfair. Her mother, when she was younger, had told her all about her grandfather’s life and what he had done as a child. She could (somewhat) comprehend why the older man felt that no one should “waste” their time in a book or with school.
She stood before the two, her heart broken into a million pieces. How could she come in between them and their love? She had tried so hard and yet he wasn’t hers. Without him, this curse was not broken. She stood before them and cried as her body dissolve into minerals and became one with the universe.
Minerals are the microscopic elements needed for survival in the human diet. They are usually needed in very small amounts. Many of today’s fad diets exclude these crucial elements and can lead to harmful side effects. Eating a balanced diet is important to revive all proper nutrients.
Just a hole in the ground. Just a stinking hole, carved out with our own sweat and blood. You wouldn’t think it could matter so much, that anything forged with that kind of shared hard work and love could possibly be anything but divided equally but I tell you … the moment something out of the ordinary arises, all bets are off. Blood, sweat, lives, they don’t mean nothing next to the glint of gold.
She always applied her bare minerals makeup before she left the house. Sometimes she would even apply it before she went to bed, to cover any circumstance of fire or other emergency forcing her into the public without warning or consent.
The rocks lay still, silent, covered by a rush of thin clear river. Most were no bigger than any given toe. Merida bent down and poked at them, quickly, never letting her fingers lay too long in the cold mountain water. “Do you see something?” she heard her commander ask. Merida felt a longing to remain.
There were minerals on the planet, that they knew, and that was enough in this day and age to explore. Long gone was the luxury of bypassing any chance that something might be alive down there to lead them to their destiny or at least fill their stomachs on the way there.
MInerales were the only thing that kept you two alive really. It was a weird thing to think about, but minerals were all around you. Water, air, soil, they were in her eyes and her hair, her skin.
Shit.
Your mind drifted to her a lot. More than it should. More than was a healthy thing to have happen. She

Digging… always digging. One more stone. One more mineral. Always in search of that perfect stone. Dig, dig, dig.
The minerals in the water you drink are starting to get to your pretty little head, because you’re starting to believe that you can dance to a different beat than the same old waltz of everyone else around you. And the make up you put on your face is so much more tasteful than those other girls with their bright red lips and porcelain skin. Darling, the minerals are starting to get to your pretty little head, please don’t fight them, just relax. They’re good for you, I promise.
Teeth are minerals. The flash of your smile. The slight misalignment behind those lips are unique to you and admired completely by me. Smile with those chompers and don’t shy behind those lips and show to me that we are both genuinely enjoying the moment.

I looked down at the diamond on my finger, replaying the memories I so fondly associated with it. It was beautiful – it truly was, but as the memories transformed from beauty to the harsh reality I faced, I slowly slipped the diamond off my finger and see it as it truly was – just a mineral.

Mineral earrings glitter. Gems would be better, but. Who are we to say what has value and what does not? If I could consume you, would you enrich my blood? Or would you stop my arteries? The benefit of a mineral in human form, or –

Th cave glittered with the minerals the town desperately needed, like a secret loot. Fairy dust sparkled in thin veins arching across the wide span of the tunnel. The sparkling purple gave the impression of a night sky speckled with stars.

Minerals that made up her bones were slowly bring stripped away, with each day that she refused to eat. Minerals that held her skin together were more and more depleted. She was so scared of gaining weight that she held off eating until she cracked instead.

So minerals i think are in water and maybe are elements of the earth , i am not sure but I should. Ma
“Mineral water tastes gross,” I think as I throw the bottle into the trashcan.
“Woah, why all the hate? It’s just water,” I hear a voice behind me say
Jennifer Steele
Minerals are in makeup and some foods. They’re found everywhere in nature, everyone has encountered one some time or another. Goats eat them off the sides of mountains. They’re sometimes pretty stones, like rubies or diamonds or emeralds or something of that nature.
Minerals, crystals and light reflecting stones, jewels and diamonds… Jasper could see everything shedding light through a small keyhole. How can he enter? All these didn’t matter. He needed to get the book. The book was the only element that mattered in the whole situation.

The boy grinned at the moon with glinting eyes. Eyes that bore tiny minerals within them. His prosthetic limbs clinked with every motion, a machine ready to produce a certain mechanical rhythm. He stared at the massive, white orb in a black sea and he dreamed that one day, he would set foot on it. But he promised it’d be his last wish to do so. It wasn’t the time for that yet. He turned around and gazed intently at an old bungalow with hazy lights on. And on the porch, was an old woman, smiling back at him. Yes. Now wasn’t the time. He still has work here to do.

The water was full of minerals. Visible. I could see them floating in the water. My eyesight had been enhanced beyond any normal human. I could see deep into the water, the collection of atoms, minerals, bonds. Hydrogen and oxygen combining to form odd nourishment. Even the creatures that lived in the water were visible to my eyes.
Minerals are the foundation, not just of make up, but of life on this earth. The dirt we walk on is a soft pad over the bedrock. Minerals support and shape our world.
Oracular Pig
As he dig himself deeper into the gaping hole in the floor of the cave, more of the strange minerals rained down on his partner’s head below. Finally, as his hammer struck the last piece, it dislodged and fell to the floor below, knocking the unknowing man unconscious.
“Okay, seriously? What is this ‘I crave minerals’ meme? Is it really necessary for me to see it every time I log on to Tumblr?”
Rachel laughed. “Oh, Austin,” she sighed. “If you can’t find such beauty in goats and minerals, then maybe you shouldn’t even go on the site.”
“And here’s another one!” snapped Austin, who clearly wasn’t paying attention to Rachel. “This stupid one! ‘None pizza, left beef?’ Are you kidding me? Who the Hell wants pizza with nothing but beef on the left side?!”
