Quartz Miner

Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that collects and transports natural minerals such as crystals from mining sites and sorts them by quality.
Description
Quartz miners collect natural quartz crystals through open-pit or underground operations in mountainous areas or mines. They use hammers, chisels, and heavy machinery to break out quartz rough stones from bedrock, transport them, sort them by quality and size, and hoist them to the transport route. They apply basic geological knowledge, thoroughly manage safety, collaborate as a team, and proceed with operations. The collected crystals are distributed as gems or industrial materials.
Future Outlook
Demand for natural crystals exists steadily for both ornamental and industrial uses, but mining sites are decreasing due to labor population decline and stricter environmental regulations. In the future, expansion into new fields such as tourist mines, gem processing and sales, and environmental conservation activities is expected.
