How many megahertz of vibrations would it take to Shatter solid rock
Backstory:

I had an idea of someone who can generate powerful vibrations that can either be used to amplify physical attacks or fire these vibrations in a direct oscillating stream for ranged attacks. In addition he has superhuman durability so his own vibrations don't kill him, but his main trait is his ability to use these vibrations to dig underground at a rapid rate by shattering and granulating the materials beneath him, with much of his vibration abilities being based on Shara Ivalda from monster hunter. Now as I was coming up with this character I started to look into vibrations and as I looked into the possible science of how this could work I eventually started to end up in a dead end when trying to figure out how many megahertz it takes to do stuff like this.

Question: How many megahertz of vibrations would it take to granulate solid rock for greater digging abilities.
