The cited article states that the grooves may be cut into existing
spheres in fairly recent times. The articles about the finding of the
spheres states that the mining is done my abrasive moving cables cutting
into the matrix that the spheres are found in. The cited article also
notes that they are in a very soft matrix...so... if the moving cable is
cutting through the soft matrix and hits a sphere, could it cause it to
spin around in the soft matrix as it cuts a groove into it?
