Rocks are the memory of our planet. Their constant reforming cycle captures moments in time, so if you want to know about evolution, extinction, or creation, look in the rocks. This series is an epic journey through space and time, from lava-spewing volcanoes, over petrified waves, to chiseled marble palaces and granite colossi. A unique travel series.

    2. Basalt

    Hawaii is a state in motion, formed by magma spewing volcanoes that turn into basalt. It is the only rock that you will see in solid and liquid form. The native population of Hawaii considers 1,200 degree hot lava, which buries everything in its path, not as an instrument of destruction- but of creation. When you are a homeowner in the path of a lava flow that perspective is difficult to remember.

    Marble, the work of masters. To mine marble, you must move mountains, literally. The largest mountains in the world are home to the huge Indian quarries that produce truck load after truck load of noble Makrana marble. Its perfection and endurance are epitomized in one of the eight architectural wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal.

    5. Meteorites

    Journeying back in time to the edge of a 50,000 year old crater large enough to accommodate San Francisco's downtown, we see what a strike from outer space can do. Meteorites, meteor showers and shooting stars hold a special fascination over us. They are like witnesses from another world. There are a cadre of meteorite hunters reaching for the stars, and thousands of dollars a "stone."
