Nestled happily between my muffin and cup of tea just so happens to be a rock that is 2.8 BILLION years old. It is actually the oldest rock type in the UK and here it is sitting on my kitchen table. This was picked up on the Isle of Skye in Scotland and despite all the pretty minerals I have on display, the sheer mind blowing age still makes this one of my favourite pieces.
