Please xamine this xenolith:
(At least I think it qualifies as a xenolith, an inclusion of one type of rock inside another. Or perhaps it is a xenocryst, an inclusion of a foreign crystal. If I am incorrect on both counts, you may give this post an x-rating.)
This xceptional find would be an xcellent Xmas gift for my geologist sister. Any good rock hunting site is her Xanadu.
Our X chromosomes are surely similar, and we have xiphoids that would look alike on X-ray, but someone must have X'd out the rock hound gene in me. 
I should send her the xenolith (jasper with a crystalline intrusion - a geode in the making?) along with XOX (hugs and kisses.)This xceptional find would be an xcellent Xmas gift for my geologist sister. Any good rock hunting site is her Xanadu.

Wow you did really well with all the x's!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really neat rock, at first glance I thought it was some sort of raw steak, until I read your post.
I think you must have swallowed the whole X-section of the dictionary, but so what? As long as we are having fun.
ReplyDeleteXcellent post! What a great way to increase the vocabulary. And you always make good use of the words.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not a rock xenophobe. Love the xenolith. What a great present for a geologist.
I'm sure she'll go x-any. great find

I know all about rock formation as my partner is a former paleontologist. Xcellent choice and very informative post xplained well.
ReplyDeleteGreat entry! Lots of xceptional xs!
ReplyDeleteI think you found them all - X is a very short section of the dictionary - great post!
ReplyDeleteI am just drooling over that xenolith! I can't believe that you found it and that you are considering giving it to your sister! How generous!
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
i didn't know about Xenolith! you got the x-tra mark for this! :)
ReplyDeleteXXX - that's xtra clever.
ReplyDeleteI always get rocks for my birthday:) ... I collect trilobite fossils!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, very cleverly done! That will make a precious birthday gift, all the more so for you having excavated it by your own fair hands.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! It's an eXtremely eXcellent eXample. Thanks for sharing...and for adding to my vocabulary:)

I'm sorry I can't find another word with X, but be sure, that rock IS Xceptional :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Janie, almost didn't read this post 'cause I thought it was rated X ! :-D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rocks, will have to get out the xylophone and play a little fanfare to celebrate this xtraordinary work of nature...
Many thanks for your visits of late ! Always a pleasure to see new faces dropping in out of the blue blogosphere...
I would have been much quicker Xout. Interesting and beautiful Xrocks. I am interested in rocks. They are fascinating. Have you heard of thundereggs. Agates that form in Volcanos. Ancient man believed they fell from heaven in a storm that's why they are called thundereggs.
ReplyDeleteI was Xcited to Xamine your Xcellent post for ABC Wednesday. I wasn't Xpecting so many X-words!
ReplyDeletewow that was educative! thank you!
ReplyDeleteans as usual your alliteration was superb!
Oh, very well done!! A witty and informative 'X' post! Ten out of ten! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the xenolith. I'd enjoy finding one of those, too.
A really best "X" post. Thanks for sharing and information.
ReplyDeleteWhat an xcellent find! I, too, love rocks but have never found anything quite like that.
