A geological formation or rock composed of two distinct mineral or rock types combined together.
From 'bi-' (two) + Greek 'lithos' (stone). This technical geological term describes composite stone formations found in various rock layers.
Some of Earth's most beautiful stones are actually two different rocks fused together—like when granite gets intruded with basalt, creating striking striped patterns!
