Oh how interesting - I never looked into it before but I was
surprised to see something REALLY SIMILAR to an idea I had a few
years back here:*[1]

Zinc World. How weird. I'm a little blown away actually.
Actually I'm really blown away. It has ALL the components -the
Zinc, the electrical properties, mineral combinations, even the
concentrated UV necessary (I was thinking focused by
crystals/salts of particular shapes) - I wanted to dismiss it
because key to my thinking was silicates being critical [because
of their unique properties and, well, because silicon is SUCH a
huge component of the outer shells of MANY life forms on earth.
[water proof]
...and at the end of the section there was the silicates.
mind=blown. So yeah. That. Someone already did it. Good. I don't
have to. "Therefore, the precellular stages of evolution may
have taken place in shallow "Darwin ponds" lined with porous
silicate minerals mixed with metal sulfides and enriched in K+,
Zn2+, and phosphorus compounds.[184][185]" - -*
I still don't like the Darwin ponds. I always hated the Darwin
ponds. They're gross. I don't like them.
I'd rather it be happening on land, in a triangular crystalline
structure focusing the UV and everything happening in a nice gap
where a little bit of water got trapped inside and all the
combinations happened within there.
Then one day, there was the storm of 100,000 years, smashed the
rock against something, and it burst open into the water.
Ridiculous? Probably. But I hate Darwin soup. It's gross and
really unnecessary to be so messy.*
I guess I prefer my Darwin Soup in a cup.
