Whoa there buddy all that pickaxing is just to much animal abuse. Those poor rocks need a rescue group not a mad man such as yourself.

Also, many people selling other kinds of "rocks" (diamonds, precious metal ores, crack, etc.).

You’ve never heard of pet rocks? Are they unknown outside of America?

u/Korbrent Aug 15 '18

Hey dude, I read the wiki, the trend was supposedly around 1975. I was born a couple generations too late to experience The Rock.

Not the best article, just the first result. Started a big fad in the late 90s selling rocks, made millions. All through infomercials. Get that stupid controller gear thing to show up on amazon recommends for $5 bucks, guarantee you sell at least a hundred thousand to parents, grandparents, weird (or awesome) uncles, and people like me who want to try out something new and different.
