3 · Gravel can be broken using any tool, but a shovel is the quickest. When broken, it has a 10% chance of dropping flint instead of the gravel itself. The flint received can be controlled with enchantments: Silk Touch removes the chance of dropping flint; Fortune increases the chance to 14% at the level I, 25% at level II, and 100% at level III.

Mining and Water Quality-Society for Mining, Metallurgy
A major water quality concern related to mining is the formation of acid rock drainage (ARD), sometimes also called acid mine drainage. ARD results from the reaction of water and oxygen with sulfide minerals (pyrite, pyrrhotite, etc.) contained in mined or exposed rock. It leads to acidic waters that mobilize toxic metals, sulfate, and other
