The miners had no idea that they were about to discover this lovely geode; in fact, they were struggling to get the excavation going. "We were opening the mine to work normally," Marcos Lorenzelli of Uruguay Minerals tells My Modern Met, "but the land was difficult to work and our employees said, 'We have to find something really nice due to the hard work we are doing.'" Their patience was rewarded with this once-in-a-lifetime find.
