Cool. A discovery made that was not intended to be made. Someone monitoring the rover was alert.

Not sure why that comment was tagged as "funny."

I would say it is a 'neat find'. And most certainly fortuitous.
Certainly not 'mind blowing' to find Brimstone (pure sulfur rock) on what was in the past, a very volcanically active planet. To be expected I would argue.
Mind blowing would be like finding Adobe Dwellings on the cliffs of Mars, as in the Sci-Fi book 'Red Mars' by Ben Bova. THAT would be 'mind blowing'.
