Boulders
Hi, Christian, sounds like you might be talking about granite boulders, which tend to exfoliate or peel into a rough sphere. They thin down to the size of cannon-balls or thereabouts before they break up. Do they have a salt-n-pepper appearance? Lots of small crystals in the rubble around them? Try Google Images for a few pix.

Underwater
Not as good as when you are gold dredging and you pull the last bit of overburden off and see a gleaming nugget looking at ya.

Conclusion
Hi,Rox, I suspect Christian was just yanking our chain. She came with mind-lock firmly in place.
