    @rodneykoenig503 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    A lot of those pieces that you picked up from the ground are going to have fractures throughout the rock. If you tumble them you’ll see. They use sledgehammers to bust open the nodules and leave the smaller pieces behind. The people who mine them don’t take the time to hammer drill them out. I’ve watched them mine them in the past. And it saddens me see that being done. What a waste. Good video
