I think that all the elements present in the solar system that are heavier than hydrogen were made by previous stars and elements heavier that iron (or carbon I forget) were necessary made by stars that went supernova.

It would be very surprising if all these stars were not surrounded by rocky planets who themselves had volcanism and thus a process of rock creation.
