Dear Robert
Have you ever hear about electric pulse
disaggregation? One of its applications is the separation of
minerals or microfossils without damaging the samples.
If energy handled by humans can do it, energy handled
by earth is likely to have shaped the Huangshang Mountains.
You can find more information on this site:

Dr Mirco Poletto
According to the above site:
"Pulsed power involves the precise release of ultra short, high
power bursts of electrical energy. When a sufficiently powerful
pulse of electrical energy is conducted through rock, plasma
streamers are formed which tend to propagate along mineral grain
boundaries. These streamers create high internal tensile stresses
which tend to fracture materials along grain boundaries."
