Imagine every tourist visiting Mount Rushmore takes a tiny rock which is a part of Lincoln's nose, he takes it back home and puts it on the shelf. Then multiply by millions per year. That's why Greeks are so crazy about that.
On the other head, I've heard once that Athens authorities deliver every day fresh rocks to Parthenon to allow tourists to pick them up and take home as "the original Parthenon rock". But it was quite a long time ago so they could have stopped that. Or it could be fake information.
Best wishes,
