| The quartz crystal is
contained in pockets within the quartz veins. Once a pocket of quartz
crystal is exposed with the backhoe, the actual mining of the crystal is
done by hand with tools such as picks and "scratchers".
Hand-mining at this point is necessary to reduce the chances of damaging
the crystals. Any damage to the crystals caused by mining and handling
severely reduces their value in the marketplace. The crystals are then
carefully wrapped, placed in baskets, and transported to yards and
businesses where they are cleaned, processed, and sold. Most quartz
crystal mining occurs only in the upper 15 to 20 feet of the surface.
Here is a picture of the mining operation (click to enlarge):
