# 09 Digital Mine Structure

In CryptoStone, each STONX is regarded as an independent digital mine.

| Pool            | Description           |
| --------------- | --------------------- |
| Garnet Pool     | Mines Garnet NFTs     |
| Amethyst Pool   | Mines Amethyst NFTs   |
| Aquamarine Pool | Mines Aquamarine NFTs |
| Diamond Pool    | Mines Diamond NFTs    |
| Emerald Pool    | Mines Emerald NFTs    |
| Pearl Pool      | Mines Pearl NFTs      |
| Ruby Pool       | Mines Ruby NFTs       |
| Spinel Pool     | Mines Spinel NFTs     |
| Sapphire Pool   | Mines Sapphire NFTs   |
| Opal Pool       | Mines Opal NFTs       |
| Topaz Pool      | Mines Topaz NFTs      |
| Zircon Pool     | Mines Zircon NFTs     |

Each mining pool uses the same STONX Token but has different mining conditions.

| Item                 | Meaning                                      |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Stone Type           | The type of gemstone mined from the pool     |
| Max Supply           | The maximum issuance quantity of that STONX  |
| Base Mining Interval | Basic mining interval                        |
| Target Pool Power    | Reference mining power                       |
| Current Pool Power   | Current mining power accumulated in the pool |
| Minted Supply        | Quantity mined so far                        |
| Pool Difficulty      | Difficulty based on total participation      |
| Scarcity Multiplier  | Halving-based scarcity multiplier            |

Just as diamond mines and ruby mines have different reserves in the real world, each STONX in CryptoStone has different total quantity and mining difficulty. Mining many Diamonds does not increase the difficulty of Ruby. Ruby nearing depletion does not reduce the supply of Sapphire.

Each STONX has its own independent digital reserves and mining structure.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.cryptostone.org/mining-system/09_structure_of_digital_mines.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
