I've always been in awe regarding the massive volume of mineral (rock) names. Some Mineralogy Databases note there are four thousand seven hundred seventeen unique species of named minerals. It is a language of its own. Just finding such a volume of unique names is impressive in itself. To a normal person, it is easier to understand Klingon.

My criteria has always been “what type of machine will get it out.”

Can we rip it? Hoe it? Break it out in layers with a big loader or excavator? How far we gitten with a point on a hoe-ran? I guess it’s time to get the rock drills and powder monkeys in here.
