| {{note label|notabene_A|A|none}} California in 1965 became the first state to name an official state rock. A 2010 effort led by State Senator [[Gloria J. Romero]], a Democrat from [[Los Angeles]], sought to remove [[Serpentinite|serpentine]] from its perch as the state's official stone. Organizations such as the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization have supported the move as the olive green rock is a source of [[chrysotile]], a form of [[asbestos]] that can cause [[mesothelioma]] and other forms of cancer. Geologists have rallied to oppose the bill, arguing that there is no way to be harmed from casual exposure to serpentine.<ref>Steinhauer, Jennifer. [https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/14/us/14rock.html "California May Drop Rock, and Geologists Feel the Pain"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', July 13, 2010. Accessed July 13, 2010.</ref> The bill did not reach a final vote and died in committee at the end of August 2010. In 1986, California named [[benitoite]] as its state gemstone, a form of the mineral barium titanium silicate that is unique to the Golden State and only found in gem quality in [[San Benito County, California|San Benito County]].<ref>Hartigan, Elizabeth.

| {{note label|notabene_E|E|none}} A measure passed the [[Oregon Senate]] in March 1965 naming the [[thunderegg]] as Oregon's state rock, in a move that was supported as a way to stimulate tourism in the state. The thunderegg, a nodule-like geological structure, similar to a [[geode]], that is formed within a [[rhyolite|rhyolitic]] lava flow, were said by the [[Warm Springs Indian Reservation|Native Americans of Warm Springs]] to have been created by thunder spirits that lived in the craters of [[Mount Hood]] and [[Mount Jefferson (Oregon)|Mount Jefferson]].<ref>via [[United Press International]].

| {{note label|notabene_F|F|none}} In 2009, [[West Virginia]] named [[bituminous coal]] as its official state rock, in a resolution that noted that the coal industry plays an "integral part of the economic and social fabric of the state". West Virginia joined [[Kentucky]] and [[Utah]] which also recognize coal as a state mineral or rock. The drive to name coal as an official state symbol was initiated by a high school student from [[Wharncliffe, West Virginia]], who initiated her project at a school fair and collected 2,500 signatures on a petition that was submitted to legislators.<ref>O'Caroll, Eoin.
