About
 Granite Boulders and  Stone Boulders are found scattered across the surface of the New World. Lifting Boulders found on the surface may reveal  Beetles,  Grubs, a  Salamander, or rarely, a  Creepy Centipede or  Scorpion, hidden beneath them. With  Any Axe or  Any Pickaxe equipped right-click a  Copper Ore Boulder and select "Chip" to receive up to 20x  Rubble. Alternatively you may load any Boulder into a  Stamp Mill, or blow it up with a  Lit Boomstick. When Chipping any Boulder there is a chance to receive a  Sterling Geode or  Whetstone at the same Purity as the Boulder, or rarely an  Arcane Amethyst during a Blood Moon.
Once the Quarrying skill has been learned, with  Any Shovel equipped you can  Dig Stone Boulders from a  Quarry or  Mountain. Additionally,  Lime Pits can also be Dug for  Lime Boulders. Lime Boulders come in variable sizes, with the bigger Lime Boulders giving more  Lime when Chipped, ranging from 5 up to 100. The higher your  Mines & Mountains Proficiency the better the chance of Digging up bigger Lime Boulders. With the Granite Excavation skill learned there is a chance to get a Granite Boulders instead when Digging on Quarries. This chance is based off your Mines & Mountains Proficiency and chance.Learning Ambitious Excavation will help you Dig out Boulders faster and increases the chance to get larger Lime Boulders from Lime Pits.
