Mammal's Den Fireplace

Metamorphic rocks were used in the Mammal's Den fireplace. These rocks are formed from the alteration of pre-existing rock by high pressure and temperature. The chemical composition of the rock remains essentially the same, but the atoms are rearranged into different mineral structures. An example is carbon, which is changed by very high heat and pressure from the mineral graphite (pencil lead) into diamond.
