The extensive mining industry throughout New England left giant scars upon the landscape. We are reclaiming these scars one gemstone at a time.

Some mining terminology explained. Yet I'm surprised that Mount Mica is just a Quarry, as I thought it had underground workings.

Some places are mines, some places are quarries, and you may have heard some referred to as both. So what’s the difference? Quarries are surface excavations, like open-pit quarries, whereas mines are subsurface excavations, tunneling underground. These terms often get mixed up, and to add to the confusion, quarries are technically a type of surface mine, so calling a quarry a mine wouldn’t technically be incorrect.

Trivia Time : What are other names for places where rocks and minerals are mined? Also, do you know any places that frequently get their names mixed up?
