extremely rare rocks

Silicon is the second most common element in the Earth's crust... 90% of all rocks are some form of silicate...

You also don't use extreme pressure.

Those warlocks do seem to experience tons of pressure from their masters to work faster though.

my guess is most modern electronics are mostly plastic by weight. oil is kinda like a rare rock? like semi-rare rock juice

a lot of electronics have a fair bit of lithium for the battery, but apparently we get most lithium from seawater. rare by concentration, but usually not extracted in rock form

so yeah rare, not really, and rocks, hardly at all...
