Yes. I have a geology degree. How else am I supposed to distinguish apatite from halite. I’ve licked many rocks. Mineralogy, petrology, and sedemenary Rocks and fossils all had finals that involved having 50 rocks in front of you to identify
Im sure it’s required. I got a geology buddy and he said this is pretty normal for identification of rocks. So I bet its a required skill to tell spicy rocks from rocky rocks.
Are you telling me they put them in front of actual rocks and let them lick them in finals?

"Well yes it looks like a rock, but it tastes like a metal
Was a thing when I took geo in first year, rock test (and the professor) was kinda a legend within engineering.
