So for the entire time that life has exited on this planet with entire species rising and dying out, this thing has just sat there unchanging, being a rock.

Kind of cool.

It's been changing. Gneiss is the most heavily metamorphosed rock. It's been buried deep enough and heated enough that it started flowing as a solid.

I'm jealous of OP. Gneiss is one of my favorite rocks, and I've been wanting a piece of the Acasta for a while now.
