You can tell a lot about a state by the rock that represents it. Take West Virginia. My home state chose coal as its state rock in 2009, a selection that makes perfect sense because of what the black rocks buried deep within the Mountain State mean both economically and culturally to her people. For better or worse, West Virginia would not be what it is without coal. Then there’s California, home to an array of reprehensible characters — from the cultural “elites” in La La Land to the degenerates in San Franciso. The rock that represents them: serpentine, a stone laced with deadly asbestos. Score one for the enlightened rednecks. West Virginians know how to pick a state rock.
