Rocks and minerals, whether they are refined or not: roads and building materials; ore processed into elemental metals; soils (biologically, chemically, and physically weathered rock); quartz is used for glass (melted and shaped) and timepieces (piezoelectric application of quartz); micas: (windows made of thin leaves, Muscovite), used as reflective additives in road paint and makeup; gypsum is used as fertilizer, sidewalk chalk, plaster, drywall, etc. The list goes on and on, but my point is, geology provides many things in our world that are considered mundane or often overlooked.
