Shale
Have you ever been accused of being flaky? If so, shale can relate. It’s a sedimentary rock best known for the way it splits into thin sheets. But if you dig down a bit, you’ll realize its many layers contain not only great depth, but great treasure as well. Some of this treasure takes the form of fossils that give us a wealth of information about life deep in Earth’s past. But there are more literal riches here too: In some cases, oil is also preserved in its layers, providing a source for us to use to make petroleum. If shale is saying “hello” to you now, see if you can dig deep or look beneath the surface of your current situation. This especially holds true if you’ve been dismissing someone or something as being too shallow or flaky, or have been written off this way yourself. There’s more here than meets the eye, and you’ll be glad if you take the time to dig it out.
