The Mining Yield Calculator can help you calculate the worth of a rock or a shard. It is especially useful if you just started to mine or if you just broke a rock and aren't sure that that 14.93 % Laranite rock is worth picking up or not. It also helps you learn which rocks are interesting and which are not.

The density of a material is defined as the mass per unit volume. In mining applications we are interested in bulk density; that is, the density of mineable volumes of rock, inclusive of naturally occurring pore space or larger voids. The in situ bulk density includes the water naturally contained in the rock. This
