A man surnamed Lu, who lives in Bijie City, Guizhou Province, China, accidentally found a strangely shaped rock while climbing a mountain. The rock looked exactly like an onion, so he brought it home.
Then, Mr. Lu took a pickaxe to break open the rock to see what was inside. Unexpectedly, after removing the outside, Mr. Lu realized that this rock had many layers inside, they were stacked on top of each other, really like an onion. More specifically, the deeper into the inner layer, the color of the rock turned a beautiful green like a gem.

Mr. Lu used his phone to record this miraculous scene. He also decided to call the local government to report his discovery. A team of experts was sent to the scene. After they thoroughly examined the stone, the experts came to a conclusion that shocked Mr. Lu.
It turns out that this is no ordinary stone. The curator of the Xingyi National Geopark Museum analyzed that this stone is a nodule fossil, which belongs to the phenomenon of layered accumulation. The time for this stone to form and settle like this must be up to millions of years.

According to information on Baidu, similar nodule fossils were formed between 250 and 450 million years ago. They are spherical or irregularly spherical minerals developed by the aggregation of several minerals.
Under the chemical effect of internal aggregation, the long-term magnetic process after sediment deposition or accumulation in the crustal blocks, thereby forming layers and layers like the structure of an onion. Its research and historical value is very great.
Many people, after learning about this information, criticized Mr. Lu for breaking the stone and damaging it. However, there are still opinions that thanks to Mr. Lu's wrong action, we have the opportunity to admire the special structure of that stone.
