Miners were amazed to see inside the rock with a unique heart shape.

Miners working at the Santa Rosa mine of Uruguay Minerals, Uruguay near the border with Brazil have discovered a special quartz block, which contains a very strange heart shape.

Lorenzelli, head of the Uruguay Minerals company, said that after 2-3 hours of moving a large rock with an excavator, they discovered a heart-shaped amethyst block inside.

According to Mr. Lorenzelli, it is truly a treasure. Over the years, “mother nature” has been creating amethyst blocks and this company is lucky to find them.

Immediately, the company shared pictures of the stone block on its website and social networking sites, making many people’s eyes widen in surprise.

The company has received many offers to buy, some people have bid up to 120,000 USD (2.7 billion VND). Netizens were amazed at the strange stone block, some said it looked like a man-made work, but others thought that this work was very suitable as a gift for Valentine’s Day.

In 2018, a mining company also found a large rock weighing 95kg. This stone contains 2400 ounces of gold. The other rock weighs 63kg, contains 1600 ounces of gold.

Two rocks were found near the city of Kalgoorlie, Australia and are composed of quartz.

It is very rare to find this type of gold-rich stone block..

According to Professor Sam Spearing of Curtin University, gold mixed in stone usually stops at just a few ounces.

Quartz is a very hard stone after diamond, found about 300,000 years ago.

In feng shui, quartz is considered very good.

When amethyst stone is honed into jewelry or feng shui items, the selling price is about 2.5 – 3 million VND/kg.
