Cool and Fun Facts • Petrology is the study of rocks • Magma inside the Earth • Lava outside the crust of the Earth • Crystals are minerals that form when they are free to grow in nature. Crystals that grow up against each other in rocks have straight edges and they very often show flat shiny faces that reflect light like tiny mirrors.
