I sold some of the smaller crystals to help pay for some equipment I needed for my mining project. Most of the crystals will be sold for the same reason.

Have you thought about creating a light with any of them?

Nice idea, and should work great since they are very clear inside except the occasional mud deposit. But I am focusing mainly on digging the crystals out at the moment. Actually needing to get below the crystal layer so removing the crystals to get them out of the way primarily. I don't have much time to dig before it will get blistering hot unless I can dig in deep enough where it will remain cool. So I am digging any chance I can get. Just got back from digging today.
