You don’t have to be a geologist to like rocks. At least that’s what I infer from the popularity of geological tiles in bathrooms and kitchens.
The picture above was taken from the bathroom of a hotel I recently stayed in. It certainly caused me to prolong my shower as I studied the geometries on offer! The tiles themselves were fakes, offering just 6 designs in an unnaturally grey-scale palette, however, the geological order on show suggests they have their origins in a real rock.
This may be an optimistic thought for a Monday morning, but if non-geologists are willing to embrace rocks as decorative pieces in their home, perhaps they’re open to dialogue from geologists on more controversial issues. There’s common ground here..
I hope you enjoy interpreting these bathroom tiles.
