A colourful piece of Porphyritic rhyolite. Likely deposited in County Clare by glacial action, after originating amongst the igneous rocks in County Galway.

Actually we can get that forbidden rock juice at temperatures as low as 800°C.

Well, technically, there even is that one very special kind of called that will happily run around at T=650°C but, seriously, fuck that guy.

So you have shit that can melt at ~1200°C and that shit we call and it's basically molten seafloor and then there is that other shit called , melting at 850°C and it's a continental cocktail.
